Core Youth Team - Development Squad

The Development stream of Core’s Youth Climbing Team (previously known as Pre-Comp) is designed for athletes that have progressed beyond our Core Crushers program and are looking to level up their climbing through additional training, more advanced skills development and an increased commitment.

Participants should have a minimum of a year of climbing experience and be regularly completing boulders in our Progressive Circuit (pink tags).

Whether the goal is to foster an interest in becoming a stronger recreational climber or to ultimately progress towards competing, this 16-week program will help your young athlete achieve their climbing goals.

Practices will be 2 hours, twice a week and will focus on building overall climbing related fitness as well as furthering skill development.

Competing will be optional for the Development stream but athletes will have the option to attend competitions along with our Performance stream athletes if they wish.

This program can serve as a stepping stone for younger/less experienced athletes to work towards qualifying for a spot on our Performance squad in the future. Monday practices will overlap with the Performance Team to provide exposure to athletes who are actively competing.

Includes a full  DUAL GYM membership (Core + Grotto) + all rentals for the duration of the program as well as a Core Team shirt.
