I began calisthenics at 6 years of again at Plympton Methodist All Saints and continued competing for the same Club through its name changes to Plympton and Plympton Halifax for 21 years.  I also represented the State four times.

I began my coaching career in 1990 at Plympton and Vermont Clubs.  I coached an Intermediate State team in 1996 and was the assistant coach of the Senior National team in 1995.  In 1998 I moved to Yorketown and started up my own Club coaching all age groups.

​

In 2006 we moved back to Adelaide and I began coaching at Plympton Halifax again.  From 2006 - 2023 I coached the Juniors with eight of those years in the Championship division.  For the past four years I have coached Sub-Juniors and in 2025 I look forward to again working with this age group and developing their skills and a foundation for their calisthenics future.

​

As Coach Co-Ordinator I enjoy mentoring our coaches and fostering members to ensure a wonderful experience both on and off the stage. 

​

Calisthenics has provided me with many great life skills, friendships and memories, and I am still as passionate about our Club, the sport and the teams I coach as the day I started

 I began calisthenics at the age of 3 at Vermont Calisthenics Club. Over the years I was lucky to be coached by many amazing women, including Josie Kerr, Hayley Edwards & Courtney Hill. 

My favourite aspects of calisthenics have always been competing as a team (especially with my sisters) and the close friendships within our club community. It was because of my love of performing and my love for my teammates that I remained a competitor for over 20 years. 

I was the Tinies Navy coach from 2016 to 2022 and in 2024, and I have also coached Sub Junior teams, Tinkerbells, Intermediate Team 2 and taught solos, duos and gracefuls. In 2025 I am excited to continue coaching Tinies Navy - I love being part of girls' early calisthenics journey and helping them build foundational skills and a love for our sport.

My aim as a coach is to foster a supportive environment where girls can improve, develop confidence in their abilities, work as a team and (most importantly) have fun!

I started calisthenics at Plympton Halifax when I was just 2 years old and have loved it ever since.

 In 2014 I received my life membership and in 2016 I started demonstrating for the competitive and non-competitive Tinies as well as Sub-Juniors in the years to follow. I received my Level 1 coaching in 2019 and shortly after started my coaching journey. I have had the opportunity to coach the Sub-Junior and Junior teams as well as many solo, duos and graceful girls all while still competing as a Senior at PHCC.

Throughout my calisthenics years I have been coached by many wonderful women and competed alongside them in teams. They have each taught me many valuable skills and inspired me to be the coach I am today.

 I have also been lucky enough to represent the State and our Club with calisthenics, competing in Ballarat and Darwin. I have made lifelong memories and friendships along the way.

Excitingly in 2023 & 2024 we took our Sub-Junior & Junior teams to compete in the RSSS competition in Ballarat receiving outstanding results and gaining 1st places.  This was an amazing achievement and I was thankful to be part of this coaching team.

After 25 years of competing and coaching at Plympton Halifax I still love this sport and all it entails, from coaching each team and assisting the girls to learn and develop their skills, to getting up on stage and performing myself.

In 2025 I look forward to co-coaching the Sub-Junior Navy team with my sister Amelia.

My calisthenics journey brought me to Plympton Halifax when my younger sister Victoria joined the Intermediate team in 2019.

During the past few years I have been a huge supporter of the Club and was fortunate to have been offered a coaching role in 2022 in the Junior section.  This year I am returning to coach Juniors whilst continuing with the Sub-Junior White team.

I have been involved in calisthenics my whole life. My mum and sisters all did calisthenics, either currently or in the past - it’s a real family affair.  My coaching began in 2010 and during this time I have coached different age groups both at team, solo, graceful and duo level.  I have been an Assistant and Head Coach of the SA Development teams and in 2023 I assisted the Junior National team.  In 2025 I am an Assistant Coach of  the 2025 Intermediate Tier 1 team.

I’m excited to be part of the PHCC coaching team again in 2025.  I can’t wait to see what the year has in stall for us and I look forward to a year of change and growth.

My calisthenics journey started when I was 6 years old. I had wanted to try gymnastics, so, my Mum started calling local gymnastic clubs in the area, however, none had any spots available, so, my Mum called up a local calisthenics club that she’d heard about and the rest is history.

I competed in two teams from 2015 to 2023, working up in the older age group. This is now my 14th year of calisthenics and throughout my cali journey I have competed in solos and gracefuls' in every age group, competed in division 1 and champ finals, (both team and solo), and have travelled to Ballarat with my team four times. I have also been fortunate enough to receive multiple coaches awards throughout the years, as well as receiving the Best Club Girl award in 2021 and 2023.

I began assisting tinies teams in 2017, and continued assisting until last year. Now I am completing my level 1 coaching accreditation and I am so excited to co-coach a tinies team this year with a very inspiring and talented coach, Meg Allison.

In 2025 I look forward to co-coaching the Tinies Navy, and I can’t wait to see what this year at PHCC brings.

I started calisthenics with Plympton as a Tinie in 1989 at the age of 4. As a youngster I was a very enthusiastic participant, often driving my mum crazy with impromptu performances. As a pupil and competitor, I have been fortunate enough to achieve many awards and compete at both state and national levels.
​
In 2003 at the age of 18 I made the transition to coach and was given my very first team of Tinies. Since then I have coached across all age groups including teams, solos, gracefuls, and duos. One of the biggest highlights and achievements of my coaching career to date has been watching my beautiful intermediates in 2023 compete at the Championship level in SA and then take out 1st place in the highest division of the RSS competition in Ballarat.
​
In my 36 years at Plympton Halifax I have learned so many important and valuable life lessons and made so many wonderful memories. More importantly, I've made friends who have become family and found support in a community that I wouldn't trade for the world. 

I began my calisthenics journey at Plympton Halifax at just 3 years old, and over 25 years later, I’m still proud to call this club my home. My love for the sport naturally led me into coaching, where I’m able to share my passion and inspire the next generation of athletes.

​

Throughout my time at PHCC, I’ve been fortunate to be mentored by incredible women, win several aggregate awards with my teammates, and achieve personal accomplishments, including the 2018 Club Girl award. I’ve also had the privilege of competing and coaching at RSSS Ballarat, contributing to the coaching teams for the 2019 Aggregate-winning Sub Juniors and the 2023 Premier Aggregate-winning Intermediates.

​

PHCC has been my family, and through it, I’ve built lifelong friendships both as a competitor and coach. I’ve coached at nearly every level, from Non-Comp Tinies to Masters, and this year I’m excited to continue coaching the Tinkerbells alongside my trainee coach, Lily, as well as working alongside Miss Hayley with our stunning Intermediates.

​

I’m looking forward to another year of growth, teamwork, and fun with our amazing athletes!

I started calisthenics at Plympton-Halifax Calisthenics Club as a 6-year-old in the Sub-Juniors. As a child, I loved to dance. I’d learn all the dance moves from musicals and movies I could. I remember teaching back bends to my friends at school and coming up with performances to Grease and the Spice Girls at school camp talent shows. Cali was for me. I loved the costumes, the music, the choreography, and the friends I’d get to see every week.

Competing all the way up to Seniors, I represented South Australia in the 2000 Junior Championship team in Ballarat and then the 2003 Intermediate National Team in Perth. By far, my biggest individual achievement was being selected in the 2014 Senior National team at 26 years of age. Competing in Melbourne at the prestigious Hamer Hall, we came out with the win, and it absolutely changed the way I thought about calisthenics, both as a competitor and as a coach.

I achieved my coaching badge in 2008. In my time at PHCC, I have coached all age groups, apart from the Masters. I have such fond memories of all my teachings at PHCC; but nothing can top teaching my incredible Senior team. My goal as a coach is to create routines that mean something. That are special and surprising. More importantly, it brings me joy to support my competitors, foster their self-belief and help them achieve their aspirations, all while enjoying the journey.

PHCC has been my constant, my community, my escape, and creative outlet for almost 30 years (wow!). I have made lifelong friends I could not live without and learnt so much from other PHCC coaches that I will never take for granted.

Let’s do this 2025! #PHCC4LIFE

I started Calisthenics at the age of 3, going on to compete at various clubs across South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria, including 3 Ballarat State Teams. I was also fortunate to compete in graceful solos at Ballarat in 1993 and 1995.

I began coaching at age 18 before meeting Josie Kerr and being introduced to PHCC, where I coached Tinies, Subbies, and Junior teams in the late 90s before moving interstate for work. Whilst living interstate in NSW then Victoria, I remained involved in calisthenics as a competitor and coaching, coaching Junior, Intermediate, and Senior teams. 

I returned to PHCC as a member of their very first Masters team in 2017 and have continued to compete as a PHCC Master ever since. Last year I decided to become reaccredited as a Level 1 Coach with the support of PHCC.

I have coached many age groups over the years including Gracefuls and Solos. PHCC has always been a friendly and supportive club and I’m looking forward to coaching the Masters in 2025!

I began calisthenics as a Sub-Junior in term 4 of 2015. Since then I have loved every moment spent with Plympton Halifax.

Some of my favourite memories include attending the Ballarat trips in 2016 as a Subbie, 2018 as a Junior and in 2021 as an Intermediate. I also always enjoy our annual whole Club camps.

2024 was my first year of assisting the Sparkles team with Miss Erin and Miss Amelia.  This is where I grew my love for sharing our amazing sport with our youngest members.

I cannot wait to officially join the coaching team in 2025, working with Miss Erin and the Sparkles, and to learn from all the amazing coaches I am lucky to surround myself with.

I started Calisthenics aged 5 at Largs North Calisthenics Club. In 2008 I made the move to Plympton Halifax. The Club welcomed me with open arms and I have loved every moment since.

I have been fortunate enough to compete/coach at the RSSS Ballarat Competition 9 times. Excitingly in 2019 our Sub Juniors become the highest-scoring Division 2 team in the RSSS Competition. This is a highlight of my coaching career.

I received my Level 1 coaching in 2015 and since I have coached non-competitive and competitive Tinies, Sub-Juniors, and Juniors.

After a fabulous first year coaching our Junior 1 team I am looking forward to another year in the Championship Section in 2025! I will also be working with our youngest Sub Juniors in the Blue team developing their skills and look forward to being part of the early stages of their calisthenics journey.

I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for us all at PHCC!

After competing for 8 years as an elite-level rhythmic gymnast, I made the transition over to calisthenics as an intermediate in 2013. Admittedly, I wasn’t too sure about calisthenics to begin with but now, you’ll never get me to leave!
 

In 2021 and 2022, I assisted Hayley Edwards with the Intermediates which really ignited a passion to coach a team of my own. I then started my coaching journey with the Tinkerbells and Tinies Navy teams.

I have competed in the CASA Solo and Graceful competitions every year since 2015, and was actually lucky enough to receive an Equal 4th in the 2021 Senior Championship Solo Competition. I look forward to being able to coach solo’s of my own under the guidance of all the incredible coaches I’m surrounded by.

​

This year I am super excited to be coaching the Sparkles again, alongside my trainee coach Abbey.

I can’t wait to see what this year brings!

I started Calisthenics at Plympton Halifax at 3 years old, encouraged by my mum who had previously competed for both Plympton & Halifax when she was younger. I fell in love with Calisthenics right from the start and haven’t stopped.

Being a very shy child, I decided to start demonstrating for the Tinies team to help build my confidence. I ended up loving it so much that I demonstrated every Saturday morning for many years before taking my own Tinies team in 2016. I have coached a Tinies team every year since and absolutely love working with our youngest girls, helping them grow in confidence, make new friendships and watching their love for calisthenics develop.

My desire to become a Coach developed from my commitment to the sport of calisthenics as well as our Club and all it’s beautiful members. There are so many coaches and members at our club that I am constantly inspired by. Wonderful, kind, supportive women, and mentors, whose lessons I try to bring into my own coaching and pass onto the girls I am lucky enough to work with.

In 2013 I received my life membership, 2018 my 20 years’ service, and in 2023 I was honoured to receive 25 years at PHCC. I have also received a few Coaches Awards and in 2014 and 2016 I was honoured to receive the Club Girl award. Throughout my time at PHCC I have been fortunate to have represented CASA and the Club with trips to Mt Gambier and Ballarat. In 2023 I was very excited to take our Junior teams to compete in the RSSS Ballarat competition. Our Juniors achieved an outstanding result and gained 1st place overall. In 2024 we took our wonderful Sub-Junior teams to Ballarat, competing in the premier division, and were so proud to receive 1st place overall once again. I was so grateful to be a part of this coaching team, especially as a first-time Team 1 coach and share this once in a lifetime experience with our girls.

In 2025 I am looking forward to returning to coach the Tinies Gold team as well as coaching Sub-Junior Navy with my sister Jaclyn.
