Prerequisites: Successful tryout and meeting with head coach to determine placement.

Our performance climbing team is for young athletes who are ready to make a larger commitment to climbing. At this level, we expect to see a mental and physical transition from simply being “climbers” to becoming “athletes-in training.” Though team practices are more intense, we emphasize healthy and sustainable training by teaching injury prevention, stretching, and conditioning. And we work hard to ensure our athletes are still having fun in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Ages: 6-11 Team Purple, 11-19 Team Orange
Offerings: Monday, Wednesday, 6 – 9 PM Friday 6-9 PM (orange only) and Saturday 9-11 AM
Price: $150 per month for Team Purple / $200 per month for Team Orange
