For climbers ages 8 – 18, looking to get more involved in the sport and/ or to climbing competitively, Rock Haven offers two Youth Team options.

Development Team
Geared toward climbers ages 8 – 11, is offered M/W during the school year from 4:30 – 6:00pm. Team members engage in warm ups, drills, projecting and skill building. Climbing games each practice session keep it fun!

Competitive Team
For climbers ages 10 – 18, practices on T/Th from 5:00 – 7:00pm. Team members do warm ups, fitness, projecting and drills for continued improvement in their climbing. Competing in youth competitions is not required but is highly encouraged.

Youth Competitions
USA Climbing (https://usaclimbing.org/) is the National Governing Body for the sport of rock climbing, and this organization supports all sanctioned youth climbing competition in the US. Each year Rock Haven hosts a youth Qualifying Event, along with multiple other local climbing gyms. We’re always looking for volunteers, so keep an eye on our emails or see us in the gym to sign up to help.
