Learn About Our Climbing Teams:

Competition Team

Our competition team is designed for climbers who want to approach climbing with a focus, though still manage to have a lot of fun as they get stronger each week. We do focus some on competitions, spend at least 30 minutes or more conditioning each practice and we teach our kids how to push themselves and each other in a positive way.

- Practice Mon and Thur 5:30 to 7:30pm
- Seasons in Spring and Fall
- Team Camp 1 week out of the summer
- Competitions are indoor and outdoor and we average about 5 to 7 per season. Some of our climbers compete in the American Bouldering Series and have gone to regionals.
- Weekend Climb Trips to Tennessee or other moderate drives each season for rope climbing with climbers and parents!
- We Teach hard work, self respect, team work, a positive attitude, why climbing is fun, how to make and go after goals, self confidence, climbing technique, strength, and much more.
- Ages 8 to 18 years old
- Climbing Shoes for Season: $30 flat fee to rent rock climbing shoes for the season (team members receive 15% off at Looking Glass Outfitters if you want to buy climbing shoes)
- Cost $250 (includes a full bouldering membership to the gym, does not include trip costs for competitions, etc)

Club Team

Our Club Team is designed for a the recreational climber who is learning about the sport and what it has to offer. We teach climbing technique, play games, do a little bit of conditioning each practice and just climb! This is a great step up for kids coming out of our Jr. Team’s and not quite ready for the competition team.

- Climbing Shoes for Season: $15 flat fee to rent rock climbing shoes for the season (team members receive 15% off at Looking Glass Outfitters if you want to buy climbing shoes)

Juniors Teams

Our Juniors Teams work with younger kids to teach them about climbing but also to use climbing as a tool for their overall development. We play lots of game, teach stretching, body weight exercise, such as push ups and sit ups, along with climbing technique. The group sizes are limited to ensure safety and optimal learning for each individual climber.

- Seasons last for 7 weeks (as we know attention spans can often be short) and we run two sessions in the Spring and two in the Fall
- Ages are used to divide teams into a “younger” group and an “older” group. Developmentally, the kids are able to make more gains as a group and individually with age groupings. However, we can make arrangements for siblings, friends, or “inexperience”/”experience” in our classes.
- We Teach exercise, stretching, spacial awareness, problem solving, fine and gross motor skills, how to rock climb, how to be a member of a group, and we have ton of fun doing it!
- Practices
- Juniors A- Mondays 4:00pm to 5:30pm (younger group- 4 & 5 year olds)
- Juniors B- Wednesdays 5:00pm to 6:30pm (older group-6 & 7 year olds)
- Cost $100 per/session
