Assessments:

We hold assessments in September and January, which are our official kick-off months for new Y-Team members. These assessments help our coaches understand each climber's current skill level and areas for improvement.

What's included in the climbing assessment:

  • Evaluation of basic climbing techniques

  • Assessment of strength and flexibility

  • Review of safety knowledge and practices

  • Short bouldering and top-rope climbing sessions

  • Brief interview to understand the climber's goals and interests

Assessments typically take about 30-45 minutes per climber. Results from these assessments will be used to tailor coaching approaches and create individualized development plans for each Y-Team member.

USA Climbing Competitions:

As part of the Y-Team, climbers gain access to Region 62 USA Climbing competitions. This provides an excellent opportunity for those interested in competitive climbing to test their skills against peers from across the region. Our coaches will provide guidance on:

  • USA Climbing membership registration

  • Competition schedules and registration processes

  • Training plans tailored for competition preparation

  • Competition strategies and mental preparation

Participation in USA Climbing competitions is optional and can be discussed with coaches based on individual goals and readiness.
