BOULDERING CLASSES

YOUTH BOULDERING (8-13s)

Our Youth Bouldering sessions are packed with energy, creativity and challenge – the perfect environment for young climbers to build skills, strength and confidence. Led by qualified and enthusiastic instructors, these weekly classes offer a fun and structured introduction to the world of bouldering, where problem-solving and movement go hand in hand.

Bouldering is a dynamic and social form of climbing that doesn’t require ropes or harnesses. It’s all about using balance, technique and creative thinking to work out short climbing ‘problems’ – helping young climbers stay active, focused and confident.

Participants work through a progressive syllabus that starts with the basics and builds towards more advanced skills. Each stage introduces new challenges as young climbers grow in ability, knowledge and confidence.

Sessions run on Saturdays and Sundays during term time.

BOOKING

TCA is moving towards a rolling monthly class system to make things easier for families. This change removes the stress of block-booking to secure your child’s place and avoids the high cost of paying for an entire block upfront. By spreading the *total cost of the year’s classes over 11 months (August–June), the monthly payment is significantly lower. There is no payment taken in July, and participants will remain on the roster during this period. All planned breaks will be communicated in advance via email or posted on our website.

Additionally, each month includes a free guest pass (used by any customer) as a small gesture to show our appreciation for your commitment.

Monthly prices vary from £29-£53, depending on course level and class length. You’ll be informed of the final monthly price when you request to join. This ensures that every participant pays the correct amount each month based on the class they attend.

On 8 December, a link will go live on this page where you can request to join the rolling monthly class system and from there, if successful, you will be emailed an invite to enrol your child and set up your monthly payments

Please note: Young people aged 16–17 can boulder independently as TCA members. They just need to complete the relevant forms, which include watching a short safety video. We also run a Youth Boulder Club for 12+. If you’re looking for roped climbing classes, check out Youth Climbing at The Prop Store in Maryhill.
