Youth Climb Team

Roca Youth Climb Teams are invite only.

Please fill out our Climb Team Inquiry form for more information about how to get your child on Team!

Team Perks:

• Team members who are not current Roca Members will receive a membership to the gym for each month they are enrolled. That means that your child can come and climb all that he/she wants that month while enrolled on Team (with an adult chaperone)!

• This team membership includes all rental equipment for no extra charge

• Like all of our members, your child will receive 1 free guest pass each month

• Visit our membership page to explore all the member perks!

Team Restrictions:

• You must sign up for one Team offering or another. Team members will NOT be able to switch days within the same month but may see if there are openings on the other team at the beginning of the next month. Please inquire at the Front Desk for team availability.

• We do not offer make-ups for missed practices. Climbers should feel free to use the gym outside of practice time using their gym membership to make up missed time. Climbers under age 14, must be accompanied by an adult in the gym.

• Registration for Climb Team is on a month-by-month basis. New Team members MUST be present at the first practice of the month to participate for that month. Few exceptions apply.

Evaluations & Placement:

• Climbers will be evaluated to determine team placement based upon their current skills and abilities.

• Across all teams, many climbers have progressed too quickly or have not been moved into a new team soon enough. This evaluation will serve as a clean slate and place climbers on a team where they will receive the most effective coaching.

  Notes on Evaluations & Placement

• If a climber is moved onto a more challenging team, they are not required to join that team

• Coaches will evaluate climbers based upon the following criteria

• Attitude/mindset

• Goals

• Technique

• Climbing Knowledge

• Strength

• Coachability

• For more specific information, please feel free to drop Coach Manuel an email or talk to me in person

Moving Between Teams & Placement

• Moving between teams will be primarily determined by each climber’s attitude/mindset as well as skill/ability 

• Age will no longer be a determining factor in team placement

• Moving away from age as a main deciding factor is to ensure climbers are on a team that best fits their goals and abilities, as well as ensuring coaches are able to effectively coach each team

• Route Grade Goal

• Each team has a specific goal in relation to route difficulty that they are working towards

• This goal is a factor that coaches will look at when determining placement in higher level teams

Climb Teams are invite only. Please fill out our Climb Team Inquiry Form for more information about how to receive an invite.
