Junior Club Training

Junior Club Training

Our junior clubs combine exercise, learning and fun in one! We will teach the basics of climbing, belaying, bouldering and all safety aspects of using a climbing wall so that they can one day climb independently.

To ensure safety at the wall, our trained, friendly staff will tailor sessions to suit the needs of each child involved. This ensures that they have fun, while being encouraged to climb routes that they may not have been able achieve otherwise.

Climbing at any age will help with balance, co-ordination, strength, fitness and confidence. So starting off early is the best way to do it!

Clothing & Footwear

Loose fitting clothing such as jogging bottoms and a t-shirt are the best options. Jeans are difficult to climb in and skirts don't work well with harnesses.

Shoe hire is available for £1 per session and is recommended for climbers wanting to improve. However trainers will be fine if your child is just starting.

Booking is Required.

What to Expect

First Session

The first time your child climbs with us you will be asked to fill out a form so we recommend that you come about 5 minutes earlier so that we can ensure your child gets the full 60 minutes.

Extra Info

You don't have to stay while your child is in the club, however if you are intending to watch; although we have heaters to try and keep our unit warm, it may still get very cold in the winter sitting as a parent. So we recommend bringing warm clothes.

Oh, and we do sell teas & coffees!

Junior club kids will be fine as they'll warm up while climbing!
