Tinies covers those children under seven years of age.  Many of our Tinies have started Calisthenics from as young as three and four years old.  These young competitors are any Calisthenics Club's future.  With careful coaching and lots of fun and games, our participants learn important things such as: discipline, teamwork, memory retention and important social skills.

The Benefits of Calisthenics in Early Childhood Programs:

            Promotes health and fitness through a fun activity

.           Provides children with the opportunity to improve their body awareness and physical skills

.           Develops perceptual, fine and gross motor skills

.           Encourages children to develop and improve their co-ordination, mobility, balance, strength, flexibility and posture

.           Provides children with the opportunity to sing, act and dance

.           Invites children to listen and move with a range of musical styles and assists in develop rhythm and musical appreciation

.           Assists with the development of concentration skills, memory skills and the ability to follow directions.

ACTION is fortunate to have  presented a strong and talented group of participants each year.
