The Climbing Squad – Junior Performance Programme
The Squad will provide opportunity for those climbers with the desire and commitment to improve their climbing performance and compete on a regular basis.
The Programme will start in March 2024 with the initial 10 month phase covering 200 hours of coached sessions that cover:
- Climbing Coaching
- Strength & Conditioning
- Athlete Profiling
- Individual training plans and ongoing monitoring
- Coaching support at competitions
And of course, the all-important Squad Kit!
To ensure the programme is as accessible as possible (despite the extensive costs associated with the level of coaching input & administration required), The Font will be subsidising the value by approximately 65%, reducing the cost to each member to approximately £2200 per member.
