The Australian Calisthenics Federation (ACF) defines the age groups for the competitive teams. These age limits are based on the age that the participant will turn before the 31st of December in the year that they are competing.  Competitors are able to compete in an older section but not in a younger one.  Each age group has its own management team that comprises of a Coach, Assistant Coach, Cadets, Team Manager and Wardrobe Manager.  Action has introduced the role of Cadet Helper (under 14 years) to assist the teams but this is not a recognized position within ACF, who recognize Cadets from the age of 14 years and Coaches from the age of 18 years.
