About Fun Star Calisthenic Academy |
|||
| Fun Star Calisthenic Academy first opened in 2005.
We currently have approximately 50 members ranging in age from 3yrs-13yrs.
We practice at 'The Ballroom' 64-66 Orsmond Street, Hindmarsh on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We currently have teams in the Tiny, Sub-Junior, Junior and intermediate sections and hope to have a Senior team in the near future. We have enjoyed great competition success since opening, winning every aggregate entered in 2006, 2007 and 2009. In October 2008 our Junior team travelled to Ballarat to compete in the Royal South Street Society Competitions. At Fun Star, having fun is as important as working hard to achieve excellence. Our pupils learn commitment, dedication, confidence and the value of team work. We are a family oriented club and welcome the involvement of Mums, Dads, Grandparents and siblings. We welcome new pupils from beginner to experienced. Our Coaches Jo Thompson Jo has been involved in Calisthenics for 35years. She has been involved at both Club & State level.
