Ages are at 31st December in the year of competitions.


At Carine, our girls also trains in teams. A squad is formed at the commencement of each year (usually by the end of the first term) from which girls are selected to make teams 1 or 2, wiht a minimum of 8 girls in each team.
at this stage, it is ESSENTIAL that the coach has the commitment from the girls and their parents that they will continue with Calisthenics until the end of theyear.
This is to ensure uniformity within the theam and to ensure theam changes are kept to a minimum.

These teams compete in two competitions each year. The first one being held in August. This is a smaller comp with teams being split into North/South of the river divisions. The State championship Comps are held during September/October of each year.
Clubs may also enter teams in the non-competing Convert (held in November). Carine Club enters the Elementary temas in this event.
