Children's Classes
When you are a child everything is about what you can do and what you can’t do, it seems like adults have all the fun. Our climbing classes take a look at life a bit differently, we believe if you teach them young they will grow up to be safer and stronger individuals. Sign up your child for one of our many classes and allow them to feel like an adult. We will teach them how to tie knots, proper footwork, strength training, and how to mentally handle climbing. We promise they will be surpassing their parents in no time.

YCP
The one complaint you give when you’re young is that you are not allowed to do anything. We disagree. Learning to climb at a young age is both safe and healthy. So for our youth we have provided such an experience in our Youth Certification Program or (YCP), ya it sounds a lot better. This class provides an opportunity for our youth climber’s age 12-17 years old to become Belay Certified. In this class, we offer young climbers the opportunity to cultivate their interest of climbing into a lifetime of adventure. This is a two step process totaling 3 hours of instruction and training:

Mini Pebble Program (ages 3-6)/Pebble Program (ages 7-11)
We all wish we could have started young. Your child is full of extra energy and we have just the class to help them learn and run out that extra energy. Our Mini Pebble & Pebble Program will teach your child safe climbing techniques and proper gym etiquette. Our classes are progressive and we will build upon each class to teach them everything they want to know about climbing. Our classes are lead not just by qualified instructors, but by people who love working with children and want to see them succeed. As your child gains confidence and knowledge they will continue to be challenged in future sessions and we hope they will enjoy the sport we love and can possibly join our Junior Team when they get older.
The class occurs every Saturday for 4 weeks
Mini Pebble: Saturdays 9:30am-11:00am
Pebble: Saturday’s 9:00am-11:00am
Fee: $25 per class or $75 monthly fee. We recommend the full month because your child can progress with the curriculum as well as enjoy unlimited climbing as a member of the facility throughout that month.

We know kids sometimes can’t make up their mind as to what they like so you can try your first session for only $20 and if your child enjoys the class we will subtract this fee from your monthly dues.
Junior Team in Training
City Beach has a competitive climbing team. If your child is interested in our team we ask that before they “try out” for the team that you consider joining the Pre-Team. This class is the recommended pre-requisite for our climbing team. The Pre-Team class is taught by one of our sanctioned climbing coaches who will help and observe your child during the class. The class consists of a total of 6 hours of training monthly and helps our coaching staff and your child decide if they wish to become a team candidate.

The City Beach Competitive Climbing Squad
We know what you are thinking…competitive climbing? Yes, competitive indoor climbing is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. The Olympics just sanctioned the event for the 2012 games and we have some young members who may be bearing the torch for us all. However, our squad is not just about competition, it is also about fun and enjoying your time with a great bunch of students and teachers. Our youth squad works hard during practices, but they also spend a lot of time really learning about what they love about the sport on a one on one basis. Our Squad competes in 8 indoor comps yearly and during the summer and fall our squad is taken to various outdoor destinations in California. If you think your child is ready to embark upon a fun and challenging experience please inquire at the front desk.
