About Our Urban Core Climbing Teams

Urban Core Climbing name symbolizes the raw energy exchange between the core of the body and environment in which we find our physical and emotional peak. Our program strives to protect the interest and involvement in the sport of climbing, the competitive aspects of the sport, outdoor education and preservation. The UCC Program is designed with the intention of providing a safe, holistic climbing education that supports the participant’s need to find themselves, develop a since of belonging, process through action and experiential learning. We build our programs with the core values and philosophies of responsibility, accountability, respect and sportsmanship and we stand by our motto of building strong habits, discipline, and destiny.

In the vision of creating a community youth climbing team ten years ago, certified professional coach, and former competitive climber, Emily Taylor started teaching three eager young climbers from the neighborhood. The climbing team program has soared and expanded in every dimension. It has been a wonderful adventure working with the promising, talented children in our community. She has made strong bonds with many students and their families. With the enthusiasm of the participants and support of the community, each year the program gets better and grows stronger.

Urban Core Climbing Teams programs are holistically progressive. The teams focus on developing, fundamental climbing skills, building self confidence, developing teamwork, and open communication, celebrating diversity, establishing goals and learning how working towards them. The team program is an opportunity for youth climbers to continue climbing skills throughout the school year while building camaraderie and learning sport ethics and sportsmanship. Team members meet challenges, experience difficulties, and exult in success. Empowered by their own personal experience, they are better focused, and ready to meet change and challenge in their daily lives.

The UCC Team Program has four unique teams to suit the needs of new and seasoned climbers alike. The Climbing Club Team and the Jr. Team are community based programs comprised of youth climbers in and around the metro-Atlanta area. They meet once a week for a structured organized practice and enjoy the exposure to the outdoors and team socials. The Jr. Competitive Team and the Competitive Training Team are well recognized and highly decorated climbing teams in the southeast. These two teams are comprised of climbers from the metro-Atlanta area and two other states. These two teams are training travelling teams, competing in competitions throughout the United States.
