Does your child love climbing, or are they looking for a new sport that’s active, fun, and social? Our Youth Squad Program is designed for kids and teens who want to build their climbing skills in a supportive and structured environment. With weekly training led by our experienced coaches, the Youth Squad is the perfect balance of skill progression, confidence building, and community.

What the Program Involves

The Youth Squad is open to climbers aged 8-18 and caters to a wide range of ability levels. Whether your child is just starting out or already climbing confidently, our coaches tailor each session so every participant can learn, improve, and be challenged at their own pace.

Sessions run once a week during the school term. For Term 4, the program will begin in Week 2 (from 13/10) and run for 9 weeks. At this stage, sessions are scheduled for Mondays and Tuesdays, with the potential to open additional times depending on demand.

Each session lasts 90 minutes and includes warm-ups, skill-building drills, climbing challenges, and time to put new techniques into practice on the wall. The aim is for kids to not only develop climbing ability, but also to grow resilience, problem-solving skills, and teamwork in a fun, social setting.

We also offer a trial session for new participants, giving kids and parents the chance to experience the program before committing to the full term.

What’s Included

  • Coached training: Every session is led by one of our friendly and experienced coaches.
  • Gear hire: Climbing shoes and chalk are included at no extra cost.
  • Unlimited practice: Youth Squad members also receive free casual entry to the gym outside of their scheduled sessions, giving them the chance to climb as often as they like.
  • Safe and supportive environment: New climbers under the age of 10 must complete at least one term of Youth Squad before they can climb in the gym without direct coach supervision.

Program Cost

The Youth Squad costs $35 per week, with payment made upfront for the full 9-week term.

Why Join the Youth Squad?

Climbing is about more than just getting to the top of the wall. It builds confidence, problem-solving skills, and resilience, and it’s a great way to stay active and engaged. The Youth Squad also creates a strong sense of community, where kids can connect with others who share their interests and encourage each other as they progress.
