Junior Development Squad

Indoor rock climbing and bouldering are relatively new sports that
have seen a new generation of local junior athletes competing at
state, national and international levels. The sport requires and
develops strength, co-ordination, balance, and a strong mental
focus. It is an individual sport, involving a tight knit community and
sense of belonging that appeals to all types and sizes.

In 2002 the Brookvale-based 'Northern Beaches Rockhouse Indoor
Climbing Centre' developed a Junior Development Squad for
up-and-coming indoor rock climbers. Surpassing expectations, the
juniors competed confidently and impressively at state and National
level.

The Rockhouse squad has continued to grow and develop and
currently has 30 members, one of the largest and most experienced
squads in Australia with members being selected to represent
Australia in the World Youth Championships.

Most of our athletes come up the ranks through the Junior Climbing
Club (Mondays 4-6pm), but if your child is an experienced climber,
or has recent training experience in another sport, they may
potentially attend training immediately. Juniors are expected to
attend the scheduled training sessions and compete in a number of 
climbing competitions throughout the year.

Structured sessions for the Junior Development Squad are held
after school during the week depending on training level.

If you wish or your child wishes to be involved or need further
information, please contact us.
