national rules & regulations
The ACF are responsible for the development and maintenance of its National Rules and Regulations. These rules are the foundation of Calisthenics around Australia. Each member State has the ability to apply for ‘flexible rules’ to cater for their own needs and operation.
Every three years, delegates from each member state are invited to a forum to discuss and review the National Rules and Regulations. The aim of the rules is to keep them simple, whilst at the same time, allowing the creativity of calisthenics to flow freely.
The ACF National Rules Forum Advisory Committee consists of the Rules Forum Chair, and ACF Directors of Competitions, Adjudication and Coaching. The Advisory committee are the body responsible for ensuring the ACF rules are interpreted consistently across States and Territories and between all stakeholders, including coaches, adjudicators, and competition committees.
THE ACF NATIONAL RULES FORUM
The ACF National Rules Forum is comprised of the Chair, two delegates from each State or Territory, and the ACF Directors of Competitions, Adjudication and Coaching.
The objectives of the Forum are:
- to provide a national approach to the ACF Rules and Regulations;
- to have unambiguous rules that govern all Calisthenics competitions that are interpreted consistently; and
- to have rules that preserve and continue to develop the creativity and uniqueness of Australian Calisthenics within a safe performance environment.
The National Rules Forum convenes every three years to review the ACF Rules.

BASIC INFORMATION
The CASA Solo & Duo State Championships provides members who are a part of a team and club to perform an individual routine showcasing their Free Exercises and Dance Technique. Incorporating elements of strength, flexibility and dance, a Solo is a great way for participants to continue developing their own self confidence in performing.
Duos are performed as a pair with another existing member from the same or different club. Encouraging an emphasis on timing and unison Duos are a great way for members to work collaboratively and improve their confidence and to simply have fun. Similarly to Solos, this arrangement is a combination of Free Exercises and Dance Technique. Both routines are then marked on technique, execution, and choreography.
To compete in the CASA Solo & Duo State Championships competitors must have completed the required ACF Skills Examination for their age group in order to be eligible to compete in alignment with the ACF standards. CASA’s Solo & Duo State Championships are currently held in October – November after the completion of Team Competitions.

BASIC INFORMATION
Calisthenics Clubs in South Australia have the opportunity to compete at 2 team competitions annually held by CASA. The first competition is held in May (after the completion of the Graceful Girl competitions) and allows clubs the opportunity to perform 3 outlined items in a black leotard at The Royalty Theatre. This creates a chance for teams to compete and receive feedback from adjudicators before the State Championships held from July – August.
The Team State Championships held at The Royalty Theatre is the main Calisthenics Team Competition for each year. Commencing in July and finishing in late August, this event is the pinnacle of South Australia’s Team Calisthenics Competitions. Performing all items in full costumes, stage props and lighting, this competition is a highlight of the South Australian Calisthenics calendar.

darwin development program
The Darwin Development team is a great opportunity for calisthenics participants who have not been selected in a National team prior to audition to be apart of one of CASA’s development teams.
This experience encourages members to improve on their calisthenics skills and technique with the opportunity to travel to Darwin to compete in the Frangipani Cup.
South Australia is proud to have sent Sub Junior, Junior and Intermediate teams to this event with the hopes to continue to send these teams to compete in Darwin.
