Schoolaerobics is a team-based sport for all students, which has run as an extracurricular program at Williamstown High School since 2013.
Schoolaerobics is the largest inter-school sport aerobics competition for primary and secondary school students throughout Australia. It consists of many sections of competition for both clubs and schools and is run by TFT Sports and Events Management. (http://www.tftsportsandeventmanagement.com).
The WHS schoolaerobics program aims to provide an inclusive avenue for students to improve their confidence, fitness, health, teamwork and self-esteem through participation in a healthy and fun competition.
Students with all levels of ability can participate as we enter different sections allowing for beginners up to more experienced students.
The main aerobics competition season is held during semester 1. This includes the Autumn challenge and Regional qualifiers. Teams that perform well in the Regional Qualifiers are invited to attend the State competition. Then, the invitation only National Championship is held in August for those who place highly at the State level.
In semester 2, students are able to train and compete at the Spring Challenge. This offers valuable feedback and preparation time for the following season (if students choose to continue).
Williamstown High School has been successful in a number of these competitions each year, including reaching national level in various sections.
Participating students pay an additional fee to be involved. Having experience in dance, calisthenics, gymnastics, cheer leading etc. is useful but not essential.
