Carwen Calisthenic College
Calisthenics is a team sport consisting of several different types of routines or disciplines. A team of participants will learn various routines, about 2 – 4 minutes in duration, with the aim of performing on stage at competitions and concerts.
The different disciplines incorporate elements of dance, gymnastics, ballet, marching, apparatus technique (rods and clubs), acting and singing. Whilst primarily a team sport, there is also the opportunity to participate in solo and duo items. Pupils learn 4-7 routines concurrently throughout the year and this is where the diversity of the sport is seen.
Your child’s participation in calisthenics will help them develop self-discipline, teamwork, commitment, responsibility, self-esteem and lasting friendships. From a developmental perspective, the different disciplines can help establish general fitness, sensory development and integration, directionality, memory, musical appreciation, rhythm, fundamental motor skills and social awareness.
