24 Mar More Youth Climbing at Indirock: the Junior Bouldering Club!
We’re excited to announce an extra youth climbing session at Indirock! If you have a young climber looking to get involved, you now have two fantastic options to choose from: NICAS Foundation or our brand-new Junior Bouldering Club. Whether your child wants to follow a structured climbing pathway or just have fun on the walls, we have the perfect session for them.
NICAS Foundation – Wednesdays 18:00-19:00 (Ages 6-12)
Our NICAS Foundation session is part of a UK-wide climbing scheme designed to develop climbing skills and work towards nationally recognised awards. This structured program takes young climbers from Level 1 (Foundation) through to Level 5 (performance level), allowing them to build confidence and technical skills in a progressive way.
As a new NICAS centre, Indirock currently offers Levels 1 and 2, helping children develop their climbing abilities in a structured and goal-oriented environment. Even if your child has previous experience, they will start at Level 1 and progress at their own pace. This session is great for kids who enjoy setting goals and working towards climbing achievements over time.
Junior Bouldering Club – Tuesdays 18:00-19:00 (Ages 6-12)
Looking for something more relaxed? Our brand-new Junior Bouldering Club is the perfect choice! This fun, engaging session is designed for young adventurers who want to climb without the pressure of a structured syllabus.
With the support of an experienced instructor, children will explore bouldering at their own pace, tackling climbing challenges suited to their skill level. Whether they’re complete beginners or little climbing pros, every session is packed with energy, encouragement, and plenty of high-fives!
This session is more laid back than our NICAS sessions and will not be working towards a climbing syllabus.
Which One is Right for Your Child?
- If your child enjoys a structured program and wants to progress through climbing levels, NICAS Foundation is the way to go.
- If they prefer a casual, fun-focused session without a structured syllabus, Junior Bouldering Club is the perfect fit.
Both sessions are an excellent opportunity for kids to develop confidence, strength, and problem-solving skills in a safe and supportive environment.
For those with the Child Coaching Membership, you can select either of the sessions to attend as part of your weekly coaching.
