About the ACFCC
The Australian Calisthenic Federation Coaching Committee (ACFCC) was formed to give each State and Territory a voice in the direction of Coaching at a National level.
The Role of the ACFCC is to:
- Maintain and revise calisthenic coaching courses for national accreditation;
- Maintain active links with the Australian Sports Commission to ensure two way communications on resources, training courses, coaching programs and other relevant information;
- Design, coordinate and evaluate coaching courses for national accreditation;
- Liaise with the ACF and other ACF Sub Committees; and
- Organise on behalf of the ACF a Calisthenic Coaches Conference usually held once every 4 years.
Current Members of the ACFCC are:
|
ACF Director of Coaching |
Carolyn Fortune |
Delegates from each state meet twice a year to discuss the coaching programmes and all aspects of coaching.
Training
The roles of a Calisthenics Coach are as varying as they are interesting, from teaching basic deportment to choreographing items and costume design. Continuous learning and training ensures Coaches are able to draw on a vast array of experience incorporating many styles of dance into their routines.
Although the role of a coach is rewarding and enjoyable, it is important to ensure those responsible for classes are properly trained.
Through the Cadet Program and Level 1 and Level 2 courses we ensure all coaches have the best basis for their coaching careers. Level 2 qualifications are available for coaches who wish to further their coaching knowledge. These courses are updated and reviewed periodically to ensure up-to-date information is available.
There are currently four ACF National Coach Education Programs:
1. Cadet Program
2. Recreational Level 1
3. Level One, and
4. Level Two.
Please refer to the relevant website pages for further information on these programs.
