Based on the USA Climbing competition schedule, there are two seasons throughout the year. Even for those not interested in competing, we will align our schedule and training with the seasons as follows:
Tryout Information – The intention of tryouts is for youth and coaches to experientially and collaboratively decide which team is the best fit for each individual. Spring tryouts are ONLY for athletes who did not participate in the fall bouldering season OR athletes who are seeking to join a different team in the spring (ie Development Team athlete seeking to be on the Advanced Team).
The Youth Team is separated into three sections based on the climber’s desire, experience, skill and personal goals.
Please contact the Head Coach at Austin.Hill@momentsclimbing.com for more information.

The Development Team is for youth interested in developing their fundamental climbing skills and participating in a team environment. Development athletes are expected to attend one practice per week and are invited but not necessarily expected to participate in USAC competitions.
At any point during the season, a Development Team athlete may be invited to try out for the Advanced Team or may request a tryout by speaking to the coaches.
Practice Times: Saturday 9:00 – 11:00 AM
The Advanced Team is for youth ready to train multiple times each week, pushing themselves mentally, physically, and technically towards the goal of competing. Advanced athletes are expected to attend two practices per week and will prepare for USAC competitions, but it is not required for them to compete. At any point during the season, an Advanced Team athlete may be invited to try out for the Competition Team or may request a tryout by speaking to the coaches.
