This program builds on foundational techniques with more focused instruction, goal setting, and independent practice. Climbers will continue developing strength, strategy, and confidence in a supportive, team-based environment. It’s a great fit for those looking to deepen their involvement in climbing without the pressure of competing.

Performance Team is our most advanced non-competitive program, designed for older climbers who want to train at a high level without focusing on competition.

Competitive Teams
Development Team (8-12)
Starting September 8th
Tuesday + Thursday + Friday 4-6:00pm
$345 Per Month
Development Team is designed for young climbers who demonstrate a strong commitment to the sport and a clear desire to advance their skills, technique, and overall athleticism.
Meeting three days a week, this program offers structured, higher-intensity training for athletes ready to take the next step in their climbing journey. Sessions focus on technical development, physical conditioning, and mental preparation, all in a supportive and goal-oriented environment.
While competition is an option, it is not required. The focus is on helping each climber progress at a pace that’s right for them—while maintaining a strong connection to the joy and passion that brought them to the sport.
Competition Team (13+)

Competition Team is our highest-level youth program, designed for experienced climbers who are fully committed to training and competing at an advanced level.
This team meets multiple times per week and follows a structured, high-intensity training schedule focused on performance in competitions. Athletes will develop advanced technique, strength, endurance, and mental resilience, while receiving personalized coaching and competition prep.
Participation in competitions is required. This program is intended for climbers who are ready to treat climbing as their primary sport and are motivated to perform at the highest level within a team-focused, high-accountability environment.
*Both teams require written recommendation from the head coach.
