AFTER SCHOOL LESSONS
BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE
for kids ages 5+ who like climbing, or just want to try it out. we have a progressive system of lessons to develop skills and a love of climbing in a fun environment.
all lessons are in small groups of 4-6 and take place in the facility alongside other gym users. the focus is to learn through climbing and climbing related games and activities. to encourage skill development climbing shoe rentals are always included with lessons!
LEVEL 1:
for kids who are new to climbing, or kids who have some experience, but need to work on their mastery of basic concepts and/or confidence on the wall . these kids may not consistently participate or get to the top of climbs.
LEVEL 2:
for kids who have some experience and are now working on climbing more as well as learning skills that will help them consistently climb the easier grades and move higher on all the walls. these kids may still be goofy and lack focus a lot of the time.
LEVEL 3 (7+):
for kids with experience who want to climb lots and continue to learn and practice skills that will help them work towards our advanced programs. these kids have some focus and self motivation. climbing is consistently above V0.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM
this program is for kids 7+ who have some experience climbing and want to progress through more focused climbing and training, and/or have aspirations of joining the Competitive Team in the future.
the Development Team is built around a similar, but shorter, structure to our Competitive Team. the kids will learn a warmup and cool down routine, and have a higher volume of climbing and technical practice than our beginner/intermediate lessons. Goal setting will be introduced and revisited regularly to help the kids measure and see their progress as well.
the sessions run alongside our Competitive Team training sessions, so the kids can see what those are all about. the kids can transition between programs during the year if they feel like they are ready.
competition is not part of this program, however the kids will be encouraged to participate in the various competitions we hold at the gym. and if they want to venture to one of the comps outside our gym that our Team regularly goes to, they are welcome to participate with additional coaching support when available.
a membership is strongly recommended and offered at a discount for kids in this program to continue practicing and developing skills. kids in this program under the age of 12 do not need parental supervision while at the gym.
this program will not have the full season commitment of the Competitive Team, but run on separate fall, winter, and spring sessions.

-
understanding of gym rules/etiquette
-
be able to demonstrate all skills in highest level of beginner/intermediate programs
