Academy Coaching (Ages 7- 17 Years)
Our academy classes are well suited for a wide range of climbers, whether they are bouldering for the first time or have been climbing for several years. The focus of this class is on learning and developing climbing and social skills through activities with other climbers of the same age, to encourage kids to become safe and independent members of our centre.
Youth Squad (Ages 8- 19 Years)
This group is ideal for motivated young climbers who want a little extra after the academy sessions. the group aims to encourage those wanting to improve in competition climbing, outdoor climbing or simply progress up through the grades within the centre or learn more about each discipline. Climbers will be encouraged to work with other squad members during training sessions, in order to develop good climbing technique and a more thoughtful and tactics based approach to their climbing.
All members of the Academy are eligible to try out to attend the Squad Sessions.
