Northern Territory
Calisthenics Association
The Northern Territory Calisthenics Association was founded in 1983 as the governing body of Calisthenics in the NT and manages all programs for the encouragement, development and promotion of calisthenics for all participants and clubs.
OUR
VISION
Working together to grow and develop our sport to ensure “the Territory knows and loves Calisthenics.”
OUR
PURPOSE
To provide a professional, supportive and friendly environment for members and their families to enjoy the sport of Calisthenics.
The Northern Territory currently only has clubs that operate within the Greater Darwin area in Malak, Howard Springs, Palmerston and Jingli. There are currently no clubs operating in Katherine, Tennant Creek or Alice Springs.
What is Calisthenics?
The name Calisthenics comes from the Greek words “kallos” for beauty and “sthenos” for strength. While this is the basic aim of the sport, the social aspect, and the confidence and self esteem building of its participants is considered to be just as important. Calisthenics is widely practiced in Australia and is recognised as a fun and healthy way to keep fit for children of all ages. It is a uniquely Australian sport which requires discipline of mind and body, team work, a competitive spirit and a sense of responsibility.
Calisthenics, is the combination of Gymnastics, Ballet, Folk Dance, Jazz Ballet, Apparatus (Clubs and Rods), Figure Marching, Mime and Singing. The NTCA holds team competitions in September of each year as well as individual events known as Solo, Graceful Solo, and Duos in May each year.
Fun. Flexibility. Friendship.
A Sport for Everyone.
