The National Competition & Events Framework (NCEF) is a transformative initiative designed to modernize and elevate the structure of ACF’s National Competitions and Events. Informed by national consultation and developed collaboratively with Member States, the NCEF responds to the evolving needs of our sport—delivering greater adaptability, inclusiveness, and alignment with the federation’s long-term vision.
The NCEF enhances national engagement through:
MORE PEOPLE, MORE WAYS… CALISTHENICS EVERYWHERE.
The NCEF introduces four cornerstone events that prioritise inclusivity and competition parity—tripling the number of National Team competitions and expanding opportunities from Sub-juniors to Masters. SDT (Solo, Duo, Trio) pathways have also been broadened to ensure more competitors can shine on the national stage.
From 2026, the NCEF will be implemented through a Phased rollout, guided by evidence and community feedback. Pilots will be used to:
