COACHING FOR JUNIORS

Bouldering is an excellent activity for young people; it's fun, sociable and develops skills such as balance and co-ordination, as well as problem solving. If your child is completely new to climbing, then starting off with an induction together is the best option. Our NIBAS classes are ideal for children who have completed an induction, tried climbing elsewhere or climbed in Gravity under adult supervision.

NIBAS

We deliver a number of coached sessions for young climbers, using the NIBAS scheme. NIBAS (The National Indoor Bouldering Award Scheme) is a programme of structured progression which provides boulderers with a way to develop their skills, from novice (level one) through to to advanced climbing skills (level five). Booking is essential and you must be aged 8 yrs or older and have climbed at least once before to take part.
