TEAM BRIDGES

Our Youth Competitive Climbing Programs are dedicated to training the next generation of competition climbers.

COMPETITION TEAM

Our premier competition climbing team. Comp Team climbers compete in USAC Youth Bouldering in the Fall and USAC Youth Sport + Speed in the Spring.

 

Climbers on our Comp Team are invested in the sport, and committed to working hard to be the best they can be. If you’re driven and you want to try hard day in and day out, this is the team for you.

 

Climbers will be chosen for this team based on their commitment to the sport and, to a lesser extent, climbing ability. Additional competition registration fees and travel/lodging fees will apply, especially for climbers competing at the National level.

INTERMEDIATE TEAM

Our introductory competition climbing team. For climbers looking to progress in the sport and explore competition. Intermediate Team climbers compete in USAC Youth Bouldering in the fall, Northern California YCL in winter, and have the option to compete in USAC Youth Sport & Speed in the spring.

 

Climbers on our Intermediate team are excited about the sport, and interested in progressing as climbers and exploring the world of competition. If you’ve been climbing on your own (or on our Recreational Team) for a year or two and you want to step up your game, this is the team for you.

 

Climbers will be chosen for this team based on their commitment to the sport and, to a lesser extent, climbing ability. Additional competition registration fees and travel fees will apply.

RECREATIONAL TEAM

If you’re a new climber or just getting back into the sport, this is the team for you.

 

Climbers will be chosen for this team based on their commitment to the sport and, to a lesser extent, climbing ability.

Climbing Club is a new, one-day per week program where kids have the opportunity to learn to climb in a fun, welcoming environment with no prior experience necessary. Utilizing a dedicated room just for the program, Climbing Club members will learn:

  • Confidence + Self Awareness

  • Proprioception + Movement Skills

  • Problem Solving + Growth Mindset

Climbing Club differs from Team Bridges in that there is no competition requirement.

 

Climbers will be chosen for Climbing Club based on their interest in the sport and their receptivity to feedback, learning + growth.

ENROLLMENT

In order to protect the integrity of the program, and offer your climbers a high level of individual attention, we maintain a strict 1 to 6 (or 1 to 4 for Juniors) coach to climber ratio. Most teams are at or near capacity, and we currently have a waitlist for all teams. Waitlist times vary - but could be over a year. We tend to see movement at the stand and end of each school semester. If your child is interested, our recommendation is to sign up as soon as possible.

 

In order to secure your climber's spot on one of our teams: 

  • Click here to complete a Team Bridges Membership Agreement and pay your $50/climber initiation fee, at which point your climber will be placed on the waitlist for your selected team.

  • Your Initiation Fee secures your climber's spot on our waitlist, their try out session, and their Team shirt if they are accepted onto Team Bridges. If you would like to give up your spot on our waitlist, the fee is refundable.

  • When a spot opens up, we will invite your climber to try out at our next practice. If selected for the team, your climber will begin practice later that week, and we will bill your prorated dues for the month.​ We will not invite your climber to try out until we actually have a spot for them.

  • For more detailed information check out our Team Bridges Primer & Code of Conduct. If you have any questions about what team to sign up for, please reach out to our Youth Program Manager, Josué: josue@bridgesrockgym.com.

  • Coming to tryouts? Save time by filling out a Liability Waiver and Medical Treatment Release Form for your climber before you come. Each minor needs to have both of these forms completed by a parent or legal guardian before participating in tryouts.
