Our Structure

The aim of ACF is to nationally develop, promote, administer and co-ordinate in a professional and efficient manner, the unique Australian sport of Calisthenics for the enjoyment and benefit of all.

We have two levels of decision making, the Committee of Management and The Council.

Responsibilities

This level is responsible for the structures, processes, actions, resourcing and achievement of strategic directions identified by the Council.

It attains these outcomes primarily through the sub-committees of:

  • ACF Coaching Committee (ACFCC)
  • Adjudicators Advisory Board (AAB)
  • Examiners Advisory Board (EAB)

It is also responsible to attaining external resources, managing external advocacy and communication links. The committee meets 3 or 4 times a year in person and occasionally via teleconference. Together with The Council, we enthusiastically try to mould the sport to identify and meet the changing needs of all stakeholders; stakeholders being participants, parents, and the government, in the face of competition from other sports and escalating costs.

Committee Profiles

Elizabeth Kratzel (President)

 

 

 

 

Michelle Turner (Director of Finance)

Michelle started her calisthenics journey at the age of 6 at Monterey Calisthenics Club.  She always had a passion for calisthenics which is why she decided to hang up her clubs and become a Level 1 Coach in 2006.  She coaches at Kingston Calisthenics College and believes that one of the best parts of being a coach is the friendships you develop not only with the girls but with their families too.  Michelle is currently undertaking her Level 2 Coaching Course.
In 2010 she decided to “give back” to the sport that had given her so much over the years and joined the CVI Committee of Management.  She thought it would be a great way to help grow the sport into the future and share her love and passion for the sport.  She believes that through her involvement in calisthenics it has allowed her to have the confidence, drive and ambition to succeed as a person personally and professionally.
Outside of calisthenics (if there is such a thing!) Michelle is the Administration Manager for a Holden Dealership and has a husband and two sons.
