- Cali Skills Exams -
From Calisthenics Australia: In 1979, the Calisthenic Skills Programme was developed and established along similar lines to RAD (Royal Academy of Dance -international ballet examination system), with the purpose of elevating the status of Calisthenics to a more prestigious level with greater credibility and safety for participants.
The aim of the Calisthenic Skills Programme is to improve technique and provide strength and correct placement for movements so that candidates can continue to remain and enjoy our sport for many years. The programme allows for individual progression and recognition of achievement in all facets of calisthenics.
From Fraser Coast Calisthenics: We highly recommend everyone attempt their Cali Skills exam – even if it is your first year of calisthenics. While it is not the ‘fun’ part of calisthenics, it is the best way to improve your technique! Exams are held in a hall, not on stage – no make-up, no costumes. Exams go for approximately 30 minutes.
