Welcome to the Irish Calisthenics Institution
WELCOME!
We are delighted to officially announce the launch of The Irish Calisthenics Institution!
This is the launch of Ireland’s First National Governing Body for Calisthenics in our efforts to gain recognition for Calisthenics as a sport in the country.
We are delighted to be able to create and welcome a community of clubs that want to work together for the progressive development of the sport of Calisthenics.
There has been huge development with the sport over the past few years, internationally and nationally, and this has given us a platform to continue to put calisthenics on the right path and help introduce the sport to more people across the country.
With that, we are delighted that we have been able to get so many people together to push the sport forward. We know Calisthenics has a bright future in Ireland and this will only help to continue the positive momentum the sport has gained.

The aims of the Irish Calisthenics Institution are to help grow the sport of Calisthenics across Ireland.
We aim to do that by providing education services around coaching and Athlete Development. Using the Athlete Development Pathway that has been created this helps all potential clubs and coaches create a structured environment around coaching Calisthenics, and ensures the right environment in clubs is being created to nurture and develop athletes.
For further information on our Athlete Development Pathway check the link below:
We want to use our Athlete Development Pathway as a blueprint for clubs and coaches to help us develop athletes and the sport of Calisthenics as a whole. This helps to provide structure around coaching for clubs and to help athletes have a positive experience with sport in general. Calisthenics is such a new and exciting sport, and we want to use this platform to help more people get involved, to be able to teach, and for new clubs to grow.

We are delighted that we have been able to get so many clubs together and bring them on board. The idea behind this is for clubs to be able to work together in this country to improve the standards of Calisthenics.
Below is a list of Affiliates of clubs recognised by the Irish Calisthenics Institution in Ireland:
This platform also allows us to create more seminars for fitness facilities around the concept of Calisthenics for fitness, and we will launch two specifically designed Seminars - Introduction to Calisthenics and Introduction to Freestyle Calisthenics
We are also delighted to announce we will have Online Education. This will be provided to all attendants of our coaching courses and seminars to continue their education and provides tutorials on how to correctly spot movements, and for athletes the opportunity to continue learning new movements.
We are delighted to begin this journey and we look forward to continuing to see the growth of Calisthenics across the country.
