Building the Future of Collegiate Calisthenics
Dedicated to growing, standardizing, and sustaining collegiate calisthenics across North America
The mission of the USCCO is to grow, standardize, and sustain collegiate calisthenics, creating a unified community for student athletes to develop, compete, and thrive.
To this end, the USCCO shall foster the growth of calisthenics as a sport that emphasizes physical fitness, development, and camaraderie among college athletes; support national intercollegiate competition in calisthenics; establish and uphold official rules and standards for competitive calisthenics; sanction, coordinate, and host collegiate calisthenics competitions and exhibitions; and promote awareness and appreciation of calisthenics in the general public to advance these goals, alongside other nonprofit activities aligned with these objectives.
The USCCO is a student-founded organization created to give collegiate calisthenics athletes a platform to come together and compete. The idea took shape during a meeting between the Georgia Tech Calisthenics Club and the university's Campus Recreation office, as the club pursued recognition as an official sport club. They found that two essential pieces were missing: organized competitions and a governing body to oversee them. Rather than wait for that infrastructure to exist, they built it themselves. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a nationwide league and a structured, professional organization that establishes standards and creates opportunities for athletes across North America.
Our vision is to see calisthenics become a prominent and recognized sport across college campuses nationwide. We envision collegiate calisthenics clubs becoming the norm at every university, with outdoor calisthenics gyms present on every campus or nearby. Ultimately, we aspire for calisthenics to achieve the status of a college sport one day, reflecting its significant role in collegiate athletics and student life.
In just our first two years, we have already made a significant impact on the collegiate calisthenics community.
