The try out process assists the coach in deciding the appropriate program for each climber. Due to the demand in the community for the youth climbing teams and the number of applications, try-outs are required for all interested climbers who wish to join the established competitive teams. Team selection is based on skill level, technique, knowledge and understanding of indoor climbing, performance on selected routes and boulder problems, conditioning, maturity, commitment to practice and competitions with the Jr. Competitive Team and the Competitive Training Team.

All climbers trying out for the Jr. Competitive and Competitive Training team must complete and application and questionnaire and submit before their try-out date. Team applicants should call the UCC office to schedule a try-out time slot. All try-outs will be held at Stone Summit Climbing & Fitness. Please follow the try-out procedures, as space and time for try-outs are limited.
