Come Join the Team!
Team RockSport
September 2011-May 2012
Recreation Team Starts Wednesday, September 7th
Competitive Team Starts Tuesday, September 6th
Team RockSport was created in 1996 as a place where kids can learn to climb and enjoy the chance to be an individual in a unique sport.
With practices 2 to 3 days a week, kids will be coached by some of the best climbers in the sport.
Kids will learn the important skills needed to be a rock climber and how to work with a team while excelling as an
individual. Boys and girls of all ability levels are encouraged to check out this great sport.
The season starts in September but kids can join at any time during the year. Team practices for the two Team RockSport groups are as follows:
- RECREATIONAL TEAM
Mondays & Wednesdays (4:00pm - 6:00pm)
Our recreational team is great for kids who are just learning to climb or want to improve their skills. Although they are not part of the competitive team, they are still welcome to compete. However, the focus of the recreational team is having a good time. It's a great after school activity that keeps kids active and involved. Team Begins Wednesday, September 7th.
- COMPETITIVE TEAM
Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays (4:00pm - 7:00pm)
Our competitive team is for dedicated climbers who are focused on becoming the best climbers they can be. Strengthening and conditioning are some of the main focuses on the team and prepares the kids for the competition season. Competitive team members are expected to attend all practices. Team members will compete in SCS, ABS and Speed competitions. Team Begins Tuesday, September 6th.
Team members, both Recreational and Competition, are encouraged to participate in the many exciting competitions that run from January 2012 to May 2012. Check
out our RockSport Comp this year!
To join Team RockSport, the monthly fee is $75/month. This fee includes a monthly membership to RockSport so they can have access to unlimited climbing time during the month.
There are also scholarships available for kids who want to climb but can't afford the monthly membership.
Please fill out the RockSport Child Waiver and bring it to RockSport to sign up.
Team RockSport high school members can also get a P.E. credit from their high school with permission from their counselor.
