Climbing Works Talent Try-Outs

Saturday, 13 June, 2:00-4:00PM

 

Talent Try-Outs are designed to give young climbers the opportunity to demonstrate their potential in a supportive and structured environment. Beyond climbing ability, our coaching team will also focus on the athlete's willingness to learn and persevere, their attitude and response to coaching and feedback, as well as group interaction and behaviour.

​

Location: 

Mini Works: 9-13 year-olds and those turning 9 by September 2026
(WADS/Advanced Kids Club)

 

Main Works: 13-17 year-olds

(WADS+/Advanced Youth Club)

 Participants will be allocated to groups based on age and experience. 

​

Climbers who are currently in our WADS/Advanced groups don’t need to attend try-outs, unless they want to move up to a different group.

 

Format 

The session will run in small groups of 6-8 climbers per coach. Each group will work closely with a coach throughout the session, allowing for more individual observation and interaction. There will be no dedicated competition-style climbs set for the event. Instead, coaches will pre-select appropriate boulders to suit the level of each group. 

  

Session Structure 

 First Half (1 hour): Coach-Led Workshop 

Climbers will take part in a structured session, which will include a range of movement and technique drills. This allows coaches to assess how climbers approach new challenges, respond to feedback and engage with the session.

  

Second Half (1 hour): Fun Competition 

The second half will be a friendly, low-pressure competition. A selection of boulders will be available and climbers can attempt problems within a set time. This allows coaches to observe performance under pressure, tactics, attitude and perseverance.
