Update for members regarding our Seven States Meeting held on Jan 20th

News Release

Update for members: Seven States Meeting

On Saturday 20th January 2024, representatives from all calisthenics state bodies came together in

Melbourne at CaliVic Headquarters to discuss a range of important matters on behalf of their

respective calisthenic communities.

The meeting was positive with states sharing the opportunities and challenges they are facing as well

as exploring how the change in Victoria would look for all states in 2024 and beyond.

While the Australian Calisthenics Federation (ACF) Board did not have a representative at the

meeting, the meeting was conducted with their full support. CaliVic confirmed from their perspective

that there are no barriers to participate for our members including: registered interstate performers

are welcome to compete at Victorian competitions and that Victorian Examiners and Adjudicators

are welcome to adjudicate interstate.

From the meeting, several recommendations that formalize the commitment to collaboration,

support, and development of calisthenics across Australia made by the states were formed and

provided to the ACF Board for their acceptance.

A summary of the recommendations includes, in 2024:

• Registered Victorian performers are permitted to compete at interstate competitions.

• Registered interstate performers (teams and soloists) are permitted to compete at Victorian

competitions.

• Victorian Masters teams can enter the Pan Pacific Masters Games. (We note that CaliVic has

directly confirmed their participation with the Pan Pacific Masters Games organizing

committee)

• Victorian Adjudicators can adjudicate interstate competitions, if registered with the ACF.

• Victorian examiners can examine interstate under the ACF Pupil Skills program, if registered

with the ACF.

Confirmation of the acceptance of these recommendations will be good news for many. It is pleasing

that the changes announced last year have not hindered participation opportunities for our

calisthenics performers. We remain unified in our commitment to increasing participation in our

sport and strengthening calisthenics both in our states, and across the country.

We wish you all the best for the 2024 calisthenics year and beyond.

Sincerely.

Calisthenics ACT

Calisthenics Association of Queensland

Calisthenics Association of South Australia.
