Introducing SEA's newest member – Calisthenics Victoria
Sports Environment Alliance (SEA) is delighted to welcome Calisthenics Victoria as the newest member of the SEA network.
As the governing body for calisthenics in Victoria, Calisthenics Victoria is committed to creating a more sustainable future for its sport and community. The organisation recognises its responsibility to minimise environmental impact across events, competitions and day-to-day operations, and sees SEA membership as an important step in deepening its environmental leadership.
Jennifer McIntyre said joining SEA will help Calisthenics Victoria embed environmentally responsible practices across the sport.
“Becoming a SEA member aligns closely with our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting a healthier future for our community. SEA provides valuable guidance and resources that will help us educate our members, strengthen our sustainability actions and contribute to positive environmental outcomes across Victoria,” she said.
Calisthenics Victoria has already introduced several initiatives to protect the places where performers train and compete. The organisation has moved away from printing competition programs, significantly reducing paper use, and is working with its merchandise supplier to ensure procurement is more environmentally friendly. In addition, adjudicators, volunteers and competition staff will no longer receive single-use plastic drink bottles and are encouraged to bring or purchase reusable options instead.
These changes collectively reduce waste, limit non-recyclable materials and support a more sustainable future for the sport.
In welcoming Calisthenics Victoria to SEA, Adam Cheyne, CEO, said:
“We are excited to have Calisthenics Victoria join the SEA network. As a leading organisation within community sport, their commitment to environmental responsibility sends a powerful message to participants, families and clubs across the state. Their proactive steps to reduce waste and embed sustainable practices strengthen our collective efforts to protect the places where we play, train and perform.”
Welcome to the #SEAChange, Calisthenics Victoria.
