Interested Team Members

Climbing teams are a great way for kids grow, in their ability to climb and as people.  Unlike many sports climbing forces you to conquer fears while participating.  This allows your kids to become strong mentally while they are growing physically.  Climbers build strength, resiliency and confidence.  There is nothing like watching youth do routes or problems that they have never done before.  There is a great sense of pride and accomplishment – for them, their coaches and parents!

As coach, several parents have told me how joining the team has changed their child’s life. The confidence they learn in climbing carries to their schoolwork and interaction with others outside of climbing.  Climbing embodies a different type of life than most other sports.  One where bettering yourself and your climbing is more important than beating someone else.  Life is about learning self-motivation and that is what climbing teaches you.

We have tried to create options that will allow almost any youth looking to get involved in climbing a way to do so.  We have options ranging from learning the basics and having a fun time climbing or working to compete in national or international competitions.

Our team structure includes:

• Little Rockers - a team designed for youth between 5 and 8 that teaches movement and the joy of climbing.
• YAC’s (Youth Adventure Climbing Team) – a team designed for youth ages 8 to 18 with a choice of the competitive or recreational path.  In either case the youth will learn to climb in all its forms.
