Local calisthenics on the big stage

For the team at K&K Calisthenics, Saturdays are usually filled with classes.

This won’t be the case on Saturday, June 10, as members head to the Calisthenics Victoria development team competition and show out in support of their two teammates.

Allison (10) and Ella (14), have each made the inaugural north-west development team for Calisthenics Victoria, an exciting opportunity that extends skills and development in calisthenics through representation.

K&K Calisthenics is celebrating its 10th year in the north-west community and club principal Kim Dunstan said the entire club is extremely proud of this big achievement.

“This is the first year of the new development team and we are very proud of our two girls,” she said.

“They had to apply and go through an audition process where they were both successful, Allison is in the Junior age and Ella is in the Inter age.

“We [our Club] are in the lower end of the division, so for our girls to be in the development team of the state is a big achievement.

“They’ve worked hard, really hard, they’re up against girls in the highest division.”

The Calisthenics Victoria development team competition will kick off its inaugural year at the Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday, June 10. Ms Dunstan said that with class cancelled that day, lots of members are excited to head down to the competition and watch on.

“We want to be there to support the girls and see them shine,” she said.

“As a club we are very proud of any achievements our girls make and we are always there to encourage them and support them for whatever they need.”
