Other fees

Equipment

Clubs and rods are measured in class and supplied by the Club. Each year, all girls are re-measured, as equipment must match their current arm length and size. As members grow, clubs and rods often need to be replaced to ensure they remain the correct fit. Invoices are sent out once finalised.

• Rods: $6
• Clubs (New): $50 (with trade-in) $60 (without trade-in)
• Clubs (2nd hand): $20 (with trade-in) $30 (without trade-in)
• White training skirt:
  • 55 - 65cm: $45
  • 70 - 80cm: $55
  • 85 - 105cm: $65

• We do not recommend purchasing second-hand rods, as they are often slightly bent or structurally compromised over time, which can affect performance and technique.
• Skirts are made to order by a calisthenics dressmaker, and refunds are not available for a change of mind. If you choose to purchase your own training skirt from an external supplier, please ensure the skirt is 1.5 circles (540°) in fullness.
• Trade-in value is set at $10 per pair of clubs in reasonably good condition. Broken or single clubs will not be accepted.
• To help reduce the cost of clubs for families, the Club offers a trade-in option for existing pairs that are still in reasonably good condition. Where possible, we reallocate second-hand clubs to members who require a size upgrade, as this significantly reduces the cost. However, second-hand sets are subject to availability. If a suitable second-hand pair is not available in the required size, a new set will be issued.
