NICAS is a UK-wide scheme for ages 6-17, designed to promote climbing development and work towards nationally recognised awards.

The scheme runs from Level 1 through to Level 5. Level 1 (Foundation) is the entry level for those new to the sport. Level 5 is for those at performance level, competing locally or nationally.

As a new NICAS centre, Indirock delivers levels 1 & 2 and will add courses for higher levels when our young climbers are ready.

All participants start at Level 1, even if they have previous bouldering experience. Previous experience will allow you to progress more quickly through the scheme.

Has your child made it onto our Youth Squad? Congratulations!

Indirock’s Youth Squad meets bi-weekly for more advanced coaching, supporting young climbers towards goals beyond Southend and Indirock. We will organise trips to bouldering walls further afield. We will also build up to experiencing outdoor climbing and/or competing in youth competitions.

While our nationally accredited NICAS courses take young climbers through levels 1 & 2 of NICAS, Indirock’s Youth Squad will work through NICAS levels 3 and above. Following the NICAS syllabus has the potential to take climbers to elite level, and does not end at the age of 18.

Spaces on the squad are limited, but don’t worry! The best way to be selected for our Youth Squad is to join one of our NICAS courses, where our coaches can spot your talent.
