Our teams help young climbers develop their skills and widen their social networks by building meaningful connections. The environment in our gyms is highly encouraging and supportive. This makes them an ideal place to learn and grow – both during and outside of team practice. In this setting, young climbers are able to mature as athletes and as members of their community.
Development Team
This team helps new climbers build foundational skills. Coaches provide a combination of one-on-one coaching and group-based instruction. Climbers learn basic climbing and safety etiquette, develop creative problem-solving ability, and prepare for our advanced teams. Practices are designed to introduce and refine climbing concepts and encourage critical thinking.
Tryouts are not required, and new climbers are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
