Cranbourne Calisthenic College

The word ‘calisthenics’ comes

from the Greek words 'kallos'

for beauty and 'thenos' for

strength.

 

Welcome to the Cranbourne

Calisthenic College Web

Site.

 

We are a Victorian

Calisthenic club participating

in a uniquely Australian

sport.

 

Our coaches are registered

Level 1 Calisthenic Coaches

who strive to maintain a high

standard with their teams.

They instill in the students the

importance of team work and

attaining to be the best they

can be, in a safe and fun

environment.

Calisthenics involves a team of pupils learning routines choreographed

to music. They present these routines at competitions where they

compete against students from other clubs in the same age group.

Sport or Art? - Calisthenics can be categorised as both. As a sport it

encourages physical development, coordination, self-discipline and

team spirit. As an Art it develops an appreciation of music and rhythm,

the beauty of line and the excitement of presenting on stage.
