Scottish Cali Squad: Calisthenics Meet-up at Airdrie Leisure Centre
If you were to rewind the clock five years, or read early posts on this site, you would see that I was desperate to find or found a calisthenics community in Scotland. One day after I stuck my head back above water with that intention resurfacing, I found one - or rather, it found me!
After last week's post I got a new Instagram follow on my @JCDCoaching account from @scottish_cali_squad, after they found this site on Google. I was pretty excited to find out who they were and see what they had going on for calisthenics in Scotland.
This group of talented calisthenics athletes are from a range of places between Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh (sorry guys if that's an incorrect summary) and they've just started meeting up as a formal group. As my luck would have it the meet-ups are being held at Airdrie Leisure Centre, where there is a purpose-built calisthenics facility just six miles from my house!
As far as I am aware, this is the only calisthenics set-up of its kind in Scotland and I can't wait to check it out. The Scottish Cali Squad have been posting awesome promo videos showcasing their strength, skills and advanced movements and I'll definitely be a bit of a rookie in this company but I'm keen to see what I can learn from everyone - I've already ordered my hoodie!
Led by coaches Paddy, Pamela and Alistair, Scottish Cali Squad meet-ups are free to attend and are suitable for calisthenics athletes/participants/enthusiasts of all levels.
The next meet is this Saturday (July 18th) in the grounds of Airdrie Leisure Centre. I will be there myself and I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone in this community and learning what I can from them to progress me as a participant and as a trainer myself.
