Blackburn Calisthenics (Blackburn South)

Blackburn Calisthenics College was established in 1963. We are a Principal run club with Minna Johnson being the founder and Principal of the club for it's 50 years. Minna oversees all classes but has turned over the coaching roles to her daughters, Carol, Robyn and Sue and a group of talented coaches all trained by the club.

We pride ourselves in the quality of coaching provided to our pupils and have a ratio of coaches to pupils of at least 1:4 in Tots and Tinies and 1:6 in Sub-Juniors and Juniors.

Blackburn Calisthenics College is a competitive club and generally competes at the Division 1 level. We like to introduce the Tots and Tinies gently into competitions (only entering 2 or 3 in the year) and develop a fun outlook to the experience. At the Tots/Tinies age the children do not really care about the concept of a competition and its competitive nature but get caught up in the dress-ups and the thrill of the performance.

To nurture this excitement and love of performing is what we, as coaches strive for.
Competitions from Sub-Juniors to Seniors take on a more formal routine but the thrill and joy of performance is always present. A great camaraderie is developed through the year as the teams work together to prepare for competitions all with the same goal of being the best they can be.

Classes are held at St Lukes School hall and St Ninians hall, both situated in Orchard Gve, Blackburn Sth.
