Youth Development

The Glasgow Climbing Centre has developed a youth climbing strategy with the aim of encouraging progression within climbing. We intend to offer a wider range of courses for the under 18’s, therefore participants can be allocated to the appropriate class according to ability. The result of this strategy will be coaches and instructors being able to deliver more specific training. The youth strategy will be implemented in January 2010. With the very real prospect of climbing becoming an Olympic Sport the necessity for structure and development within climbing has been highlighted.

Sessions for under 18s are detailed below;

•    Climbatize and Rock Ratz
•    NICAS Development Squad
•    Glasgow Climbing Centre Youth Squad
