Team Rocknasium

Team Rocknasium is in its 13th year of producing young, motivated and talented climbers.  This program gives kids and young adults the opportunity to hone and advance their climbing skills through the guidance of accomplished climbing coaches all within a group of their peers.  At practice we encourage hard work, problem solving, patience, perseverance, and of course, FUN.

WHO SHOULD JOIN?

The answer to this question is what separates the Junior Team from Team Rocknasium.  In general our “Team Rocknasium” members have been climbing for a while or may have graduated from the Junior Team and on average tend to be a little older than Jr. members (there are exceptions).  Additionally, while our team’s primary focus is on enjoying all that climbing has to offer, Team Rocknasiums’ members are particularly focused on improving their climbing level for personal gain and competition.

WHAT WE DO

Most of our “Team Rocknasium” members are active competition climbers.  To that end, we as coaches encourage our kids to take advantage of and have fun at national, regional, and local climbing circuits.  Organizations like USA Climbing and the American Bouldering Series (ABS), run well-structured competition series’ each year.  Practices (every Monday, 5:00-7:00pm) begin with a light warm-up and stretching, followed by a rigorous full-body work out, then climbing exercises.  Our practices are casual in the sense that we, the coaches, are not there to “crack the whip,” rather we are there as facilitators of climbing progression.  We are not interested in creating robots, but we will offer guidance when needed but most enjoy seeing the young climbers learn from self-discovery and interaction with their teammates.
