Team VE

Junior Team | Intermediate Team | Advanced Team

On our competitive Climb Teams for youth, we challenge and encourage each child to come into their own as an independent, responsible, and respectful climber. Our goal is to create better climbers socially, mentally, and physically. We believe that the most effective way to bring out the best in young athletes is to promote an environment of devoted mentorship as they learn, grow, and excel with other children who are dealing with similar challenges, both on the wall and in their daily lives.

St. Paul Junior Team Tryouts will be held on Saturday, January 11th.

JUNIOR TEAM

Junior Team is designed to build a solid foundation of rock climbing skills for youth. It is suited for climbers that would like to take their climbing beyond a recreational level, and are interested in competitive climbing, outdoor climbing, and training basics. Coaches help develop top rope belaying skills and focus strongly on movement and technique essentials

Price: $180/month (billed on the 5^th of each month)- Price includes VE All Access Membership

Prerequisites: Team Skills Assessment

INTERMEDIATE TEAM

Intermediate Team is for athletes who are ready to take their climbing skills to the next level. Two days of practice a week are required, and we encourage a third day of individual climbing outside of practice. Climbers must be ready to spend considerable time sport lead climbing, bouldering, and climbing related core workouts and training exercises. These climbers will be expected to compete in USAC-sanctioned competitions through Regionals, explore climbing outdoors, and look to a future with the Advanced Team.

ADVANCED TEAM

Advanced Team is an important step in our Team tiers, as it prepares athletes for a more rigorous practice format and sets the stage for the heightened physical and mental demands of larger-scale competitions. This Team is for athletes who have their sights set on competing up to the USAC Divisional Championships level and builds a solid foundation for increased intensity in strength and power training, added workouts, and increased focus on skill and technique acquisition.
