Trish Freeman
Trish has loved calisthenics since she was introduced to the sport by her cousins, and became a pupil at Syndal Calisthenics Club. It has been her life long ambition to coach at her own club and this dream was realised in 2000, when Trish co-founded Kingston Calisthenics College with five of her closest friends.
Trish has over 20 years of calisthenics experience as a competitor, with Syndal, Dandenong and Noble Park calisthenics clubs. She also has ten years experience as a coach. Trish first began coaching Tinies in 1997, and has since worked with all sections and taught solos.
Her most outstanding achievement as a coach came in 2005 when the Sub Juniors won the aggregate in their first appearance at the Royal South Street Ballarat Eisteddfod. Trish describes this moment as overwhelming.
Trish played a major role in running Kingston Calisthenics College, having held the position of secretary since the college was established, until the end of 2007. Trish feels that the most rewarding aspect of her involvement in the college is the friendships she has made with her team mates, pupils, and their parents.
In addition to a full calendar of calisthenics activities, Trish works part time as a dental receptionist and is a full time mother to Rhys.
