Junior Academy

7- 17 Years

 

For those youngsters who display an extraordinary talent on the climbing wall, we have an Academy. This club focuses on the advanced technical, as well as the physical, aspects of climbing. A positive attitude, motivation and commitment, as well as ability, are a key requirement for members of The Project Climbing Centre Academy. Club members are expected to compete in a variety of climbing competitions at regional, national and international level.

 

Entry to the Academy is by invitation only and is subject to trials. If you would like further information on potentially becoming a part of the Academy please ask to speak with one of our Senior Coaches and keep an eye on our News and Events page for updates.

Junior Induction & Sign-Off

14-17 Years

 

This is the course for anyone who is between 14 and 18 years old who wants to come and climb unsupervised. The course is a 1 hour long instructed session which focuses on how to use the climbing walls safely AND the 1 hour Junior Sign-Off, which is taken on a separate day (see times below). This course is obligatory if you would like to use The Project Climbing Centre but have never climbed before. If you have learned to climb elsewhere, we do advise that you book in for both sessions so that you know what will be expected of you during the Sign-Off. You will need to complete both the Induction and the Sign-Off sessions to have passed the course.

​

Alternate Saturdays and Sundays 5.30 - 6.30pm 

Additional sessions throughout school holidays

 

Cost:          £20 per person

 

• Cost includes entry, shoe hire and instruction for both the Induction and the Sign-Off

• A parent or guardian must attend BOTH sessions 

• Reserve your space by calling us **

 

 

Junior Sign-Off

14-17 Years

 

If you are a regular climber aged between 14 and 18, you may want to start climbing without needing adult supervision. To do this, you will need to complete our Junior Sign-Off. These sessions are 60 minutes long and give you the opportunity to show us what you know!

 

During the session, you will need to demonstrate that you:

• Have a good knowledge of the hazards and risks associated with Bouldering

• Have a good level of movement skills and techniques

• Are able to provide an explanation of the areas of the facility and their use

 

This is an assessment session only; no instruction will be given. If you need more instruction to get you to a standard where you can climb unsupervised, you will need to book a session with an instructor first.

​

Please note that we highly recommend you take part in a Junior Induction first.
