About calisthenics
The word 'calisthenics' comes from the Greek words 'kallos' for
beauty and 'thenos' for strength.
Calisthenics is a team sport consisting of several different
types of routines or disciplines. Your child, along with their
team, will learn various routines, about 2 to 4 minutes in
duration, with the aim of performing on stage at either a
competition or concert.
Benefits of calisthenics
While the sport of calisthenics is spectacular to watch, it also
has a lot to offer your child. From a very early age they will
develop self-discipline, teamwork and self-esteem. Physical
fitness, a healthy lifestyle, confidence and friendships are also
integral to calisthenics.
