The Benefits of Calisthenics in the Kinder Years with Jeanne Sorich - a podcast by Michele Pink

As coaches, we all know the importance of engaging the younger generation in calisthenics and the benefits of starting kids early to learn and grow with the sport. Our Tinies and Tiny Tots are the future of calisthenics, so it is important for them to develop a love of the sport from an early age. The Tinies section, whilst one of the most rewarding sections to coach, can be one of the most challenging. Today we are fortunate to have with us Jeanne Sorich, Co-Principal of Jeadan Calisthenics. 

Jeanne coaches at Jeadan with her daughters, Lucinda and Kirrilly and has been coaching calisthenics from Tinies to Seniors for 40 years. Jeanne also has 40 years of experience as a kindergarten teacher, teaching three-year-old kindergarten for the past 26 years at Lauriston Girls’ School. Over the past 6 years, she has developed a ‘Calitots’ programme for children 2 years to 4 years of age, which focuses on developing body awareness, physical confidence, coordination, flexibility and most importantly fun.  

Jeaden Calisthenics, located in Clayton in Melbourne have competed in the Championship Section for 30 years and has enjoyed great success over the years. Jeaden won the overall top club at Royal South Street for 21 consecutive years, and in 2019 they were the winners of the Champion of Champions at Calisthenics Victoria State Titles.

So without further ado, I would like to welcome Jeanne onto the podcast as we discuss all things Tinies and most importantly, the benefits of calisthenics for children in the kinder years.
