ACF Masters Games
NATIONAL COMPETITIONS & EVENTS FRAMEWORK: CORNERSTONE 3
ACF Masters Games
The ACF Masters Games cornerstone is a joyful celebration of lifelong participation, built on a proud legacy of involvement in the Pan Pacific Masters Games — with calisthenics featured at the Star Theatre, Gold Coast, every second year for over a decade.
This beloved event brings together Solo and Team competitors in a spirited showcase of artistry, connection, and community. It’s where experience meets passion, and where performers of all ages come together to celebrate the enduring joy of calisthenics.
Expanding the Masters Movement
In October 2025, ACF was invited to participate in the Australian Masters Games, held in Canberra — marking a milestone moment for the sport. The inaugural Calisthenics SDT competition introduced Clubs and Rods solos and duos to the program for the first time, delivering a successful pilot event and opening new pathways for Masters competitors nationwide.
This expansion reflects ACF’s commitment to:
- Inclusive participation across all life stages
- Creative and technical excellence
- Celebrating the spirit of calisthenics — at every age
Pan Pacific Games 2026
The ACF are thrilled to be part of the Pan Pacific Masters Games.
Over 13,500 athletes from every corner of Australia and 25 countries compete in the 42-sport event which has stamped itself on the calendar at the beginning of November every two years.
Participants compete in their age group with no qualifying standards to enter. The only criterion for entry is a minimum age for each sport, which for Calisthenics is 26 years of age.
Held on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, Pan Pacs is a truly amazing experience for Calisthenic Club level representatives.
The count down is on to the next Pan Pacific Master Games to be held on the Gold Coast, Queensland in November 2026 at the Star Theatre & Broadbeach Cultural Centre – Monday 9 to Friday 13 November, 2026.
Please note that entries are at capacity and the waitlist has now been closed.
