AVV Calisthenics Club

I started my calisthenics journey in 2002 at Seaton Calisthenics and competed there for 15 years gaining life membership. I then moved to AVV in 2015, this year being my 20th year as a competitor. I have been very lucky to have had some amazing coaches and role models throughout my years of competing at Championship and Division 1 level.

I started as a class assistant when I was 11 years old and absolutely loved helping and knew then that I wanted to be a coach in the future. I started officially coaching in 2015 at Seaton coaching Juniors and Intermediates both at Division 1 level and gaining great results, including the overall Team 2 aggregate in 2015. I commenced coaching at AVV in 2017 and since then coached and assisted through from Sub-Juniors up to Intermediates gaining outstanding results.

Over the years I have competed in Championship and Division 1 competitions as well as at the prestigious Ballarat Royal South Street competitions. I started competing in Solo and graceful comps as a Senior….I was too scared when I was younger!! I also competed in dance troupes at AVV doing various styles and going to Showcase Nationals in Queensland in 2016 and 2017. Calisthenics has always been a massive part of my life but my other passion is health and fitness so I have spent a lot of my time doing sports and anything to do with fitness, especially running!

I have also completed my Certificate III in fitness and gained a Bachelor of Human Movement at UNISA, which helped me further my knowledge about physical activity and health. I love the fact that I can use this knowledge and combine it with my Cali lessons. I think it is very important for every Cali girl to know the benefits of general fitness and health and how much it can improve their performance and strength.

I am so excited for 2022 to Co-Coach the Junior 2 team with Kelly and to be a part of such an amazing supportive club. Love my AVV family!
