About:

The Youth competitive team is made up of the kids 13-19 years old. These are the more experienced climbers who in general have been climbing for years. After competing on the Junior team the kids transition onto the Youth Team. The Youth team still focus on refining technique, working on agility, but also begins focusing particularly on power. This team begins spending more timing working out to build a base of strength which will help them in their climbing. We ease kids into these workouts with close coach to climber supervision and spend focused time working with climbers on their specific weaknesses.

The Youth team is made up of very gifted climbers. In USA climbing there are locals, regionals, divisionals and nationals. We have a very strong group of climbers that consistently makes it to nationals including a two time USA climbing Youth National Champion, multiple other climbers who have made the US team (top 4 in nationals) in sport and bouldering, and many others who place very high in their categories. In Utah there is no other team that has as many climbers going to high level comps. What does that mean for team members? Coaching can go a long way to increasing skill, but having friends on the team who push each other to improve and work harder is incredibly important and cannot be overstated. On the team competitors get better by surrounding themselves with the type of climbers they aspire to be.


*Placement on this team is by coach's recommendation only.
