What is the ACF Calisthenic Skills Programme?

The Australian Calisthenics Federation (ACF) Calisthenic Skills Programme, is designed to enhance a child’s technical skills and terminology.  It tests children on individual movements and routines in all areas of Calisthenics.  These programs are continually being improved and the syllabus today is very comprehensive.  Each child gains so much from studying and participating in these optional exams and they are a chance for pupils to gain individual rewards for all their hard work, while still being strongly involved in a team sport.
