Welcome to the 2021-2022 Season!
Registration for session 2 will open November 1st!
We will be running sessions of 10-week durations. Youth, with their parents, can decide if they would prefer to have classes once or twice a week; each class is two hours in duration (excepting the 6 & 7-year-olds).
Youth Climbing Course sessions include both one-on-one scheduled instructor time where each climber has an instructor all to themselves to help them progress on whichever climb or level they have chosen to work on; and group sessions, where climbers are split into groups of similar ability to work on a specific drill/technique/activity suitable for their ability. There is also a specific lesson/drill portion of each session where CRG coaches teach a set of specific techniques or run drills/exercises to practice them. Sessions all end with a final round of stretches. On weekends, sessions run a bit differently: we open the gym up early for the youth program (so we have the gym all to ourselves until eleven) and combine two youth groups at once with a few extra instructors to help.
Our instructors have lots of experience working with kids of all ages. We have a whole crew of strong climbers that help us carry out the lessons/drills and helping the kids one-on-one. The Youth Program coaching team is made up of the gym’s staff, regular gym members, and older members from our youth competitive team. There’s a great mix of styles and experience for the kids to draw from.

If you have a child who has been in the Youth Program previously and is interested in competing or just refining their skills then this could be what you’re looking for. Try-outs for the pre-competitive team are held each May, this is an opportunity for coaches to get to know the kids, and group them according to age, skill, and mental fortitude. Email christopheralduncan@gmail.com for more information.
For the climbers registered in the Pre-Comp you can access your course website here.
