ROPED CLIMBING CLASSES
Youth Xtreme (8-15S)
Our Youth Xtreme sessions are delivered by experienced and qualified coaches and are run in conjunction with the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme. Our sessions focus on creating skilled and safe climbers with a passion for the sport that we hope continues into adulthood.
Sessions run during term time and can be booked in termly blocks or single sessions. 8-11yrs can book straight onto term time classes without the need for any prior experience, while 12-15yrs must first complete a Youth Beginners Course (4hrs split over 2 sessions). Click on your age group for more details.
During some half-terms and throughout the summer holidays, we also run additional sessions to keep kids active over the holiday periods. For more information on upcoming Youth Xtreme and school holiday climbing sessions please see our latest Youth Courses Newsletter!
STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT – DofE & GCSE
The NICAS syllabus teaches climbers about the wider sport and is perfect for supporting evidence for awards such as DofE or GCSEs. DofE assessor goal setting sessions must be booked in advance via the TCA Office. We charge £20 for a TCA instructor to act as a DofE assessor. Please email: Bristolbookings@
