Club overview

Our Juniors Club is for beginner to intermediate climbers and aims to build climbing knowledge and skill, teach about safety when climbing and using the centre and further develop confidence and technique on the wall.

With a group size of 8, whether they're brand new to bouldering or climbing regularly, this club gives them space to develop and enjoy their climbing, with the expertise of one of our instructors.

How it works and what to expect

Our Junior Clubs run weekly throughout the school term. Sessions are booked in half-termly blocks on a rolling basis, so your child gets a regular weekly slot that's theirs until they age out of the group, or wish to stop.

Each session is coached by an FBR Instructor with a focus on developing well-rounded climbing ability whilst meeting your child where they're at.

What they'll learn

Technique

Footwork, body positioning and movement skills

Safety

Responsible climbing habits and how to move safely around the centre

Problem solving

How to read routes, break down moves and use movement to solve a problem

Confidence & resilience

Learning to fail, and how to keep trying
