Team Levels

Team Descriptions.
CCC Sport Teams – This is where it all begins. Climbers will work with coaches and peers to start their journey in climbing, developing strength, technique and climbing strategies while spending a lot of time on the wall exploring movement and learning how their bodies work in a 3D environment. Participation in our Sport Cup series will allow the climber to test out their skills in a fun competition environment.

Born 2003-2008: 5 hrs/week $180+gst/month
CCC Single Facility Membership to team location also required.

CCC Development Teams– Climbers on this team are ready to build on their improved climbing skills, and therefore are looking to step up their training as well to correspond with this goal. The focus is still on developing strength, skill and technique but there will be more emphasis on starting to progress training principles in the areas of physical, technical, tactical and mental development. Competitions will also be a focus as participation in the provincial competition circuit will be encouraged to all of those that are interested.

CCC Performance Teams – Athletes in this program have a focus on training, progression, and goal setting that is compatible with striving for success at national and/or international competitions at the youth and open levels. Commitment to progression in all four areas (physical, technical, tactical, and mental) is a foundation and needs to be applied to both training and competition settings. Although there will not be a requirement to compete in all three disciplines, all will be used to improve performance and an expectation to improve in each is expected. Climbers in this program must be in Youth B or older age categories.
