CALISTHENIC SOLOS AND DUOS

Although calisthenics is predominantly a team sport, there are solo and duo events offered for those that wish to extend their calisthenics experience.  There are Solo and Duo Competitions offered in Canberra - Graceful Girl, Calisthenic Solo and Calisthenic Duos.  Participants must be of Sub-Junior age or above to compete in the Calisthenics Solo and Duos and from Junior age to compete in the Graceful Solo.  Action's coaches offer Solo and Duo training.  Training includes extra coaching per week and costs are involved such as hall hire, coaching fees, costumes and competition entry fees.  All competitors must be actively involved in the Calisthenic Skills Program.  Action holds a small solo and duo concert before competitions start as a dress rehearsal - all are welcome.
