To register your interest in a SDGs, the following applies:

Please note, by completing the expression of interest it does not guarantee that a Coach will be available. Calisthenics Buderim committee and coaches will do our best to ensure all first preferences are filled, second preferences will be filled based on availability
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
To ensure ALL Calisthenics Buderim members have the opportunity to participate in SDGs for 2025, the number of items members will be allowed to register for has been capped to the following:
-
Sub-Juniors: 1x SDG item
-
Juniors & Inters: 2x SDG items
This decision has been made by the executive committee due to limited coaching availability in 2025. This decision is final and applies to ALL registered Calisthenics Buderim members regardless of whether they engage an external coach or not.
COACHES:
Coaching availability is limited, a pupil is not guaranteed to be allocated the same coach as previous years or the same coach for multiple items, however all of our lovely coaches are committed to giving every pupil a great experience. Learning from different coaches is a fantastic way to broaden your skill set. Further to this all SDGs require a registered and qualified Level 1 coach to enter competitions.
Please note that some of our wonderful coaches are located on the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast Areas, this may require travel from pupils to training venues, your coach will discuss a reasonable training timetable with you.
