YOUTH CLIMBING TEAMS

The Commons currently hosts two instructional team experiences for kids, teens, and tweens who seek to grow from steady climbers to established athletes. Our Competitive and Development teams are designed to encourage climbing progression from whatever age, stage, or skill level our young climbers may find themselves in. And while competition is a key component of the climbing team experience, it is not the sole focus of the program, nor should it serve as a barrier to anyone who wishes to try out for either team.

Our team athletes are some of the most enthusiastic and dedicated climbers to visit our walls each week and we are honored that they have chosen The Commons to be their home gym.
