CLASS REQUIREMENTS Sub-Juniors and above Each child requires their own black leotard, an aesthetic skirt, rod and clubs. These may be purchased second hand depending on availability. Your child will be measured at registration to determine club and rod size (rods are supplied by the club, $15 - $40 for clubs).

You can order skirts and training leotards from the online cali shop at www.thecalisthenicsshop.com.au. Please see your Team Manager and she will arrange to have your child measured.

However, if you wish to stay on the premises you are welcome to sit in the foyer or the kitchen and have a cuppa (from

Parents will be able to watch from time to time when the coach arranges a miniconcert in the hall showing their work leading up to competitions.
