Youth Teams
Climbing is a Path.
Our teams help youth develop as climbers, athletes, and humans. We foster growth through goal setting, critical thinking, and increasing confidence and resilience through a competitive platform.
Progressive Team
Progressive Team is geared towards youth athletes ages 9-18 who want to bring their climbing skills, strength, and movement to the next level. This team provides a focused environment for athletes who want to move beyond casual climbing and start developing their skills in an intentional way. Athletes will learn about training structure, receive the training needed to advance their climbing abilities, and get support in pursuing their climbing goals. If desired, our team is qualified and prepared to provide coaching for those interested in pursuing competitive climbing.
Cost: Your choice of membership + $160/month Team dues
Practice Times: Mondays 4:00PM – 6:00PM | Wednesdays 4:00PM – 6:00PM
How to Join: We invite prospective athletes to reach out to granary.youth@boulderingproject.com with their interest and questions. Our coaches will be in touch and can schedule a day for you to join us for a practice. From there, you can decide if our program fits your goals and motivations.

Competitive Team Add-On
Our Competitive Team Add-On is designed for athletes who are ready to take the next step into competition climbing. Built on the foundation of our Progressive Team, this program provides additional coaching, training, and support for climbers who want to pursue USA Climbing competitions while continuing to grow as athletes and individuals. Competitive athletes practice alongside the Progressive Team twice each week, with extra guidance from the head coach, plus an additional weekly practice reserved exclusively for the competitive team.
Throughout the season, athletes develop advanced movement skills, competition strategy, mental performance, and strength training with an emphasis on long-term development and injury prevention. Our goal is to challenge each climber in a developmentally appropriate way, helping them build resilience, confidence, and a strong work ethic while pursuing their competitive goals. Whether an athlete is aiming for their first local competition or working toward qualifying for championship events, our coaches are committed to supporting their journey every step of the way.
Practice Times: Mondays 4:00PM – 6:00PM | Wednesdays 4:00PM – 6:00PM | Thursdays 4:00PM – 6:30PM
How to Join: Tryouts are now open to any athlete who has been climbing regularly over the past year and is excited to explore the world of competition climbing!
