Scottish Team Training
Bouldering Meet
Venue: TBC (TCA?)
Date: 10th November 2012 (Saturday)
Winter is on our heels and as it does, so does the Winter Bouldering Competition Season! This Scottish Team Training Event is designed for kids wanting a taste of what to expect at this years Bouldering Competitions.
The day should be packed full of climbing with kid friendly competition style boulders set specifically for the day. Kids will be split into IFSC age categories for the event and given a selection of Qualifier problems to attempt. They will be given a set time to complete all the problems, during which a helping hand from coaches will be provided.
Some more experienced kids will be happy to just go and climb without much assistance whereas others who haven’t as much experience might require more support. Either way, the practice of attempting newly set competition style problems is good experience for any competition climber.
At the end of the Qualifiers, all the kids will be entered into a mock final to get a taster of what it’s like. Many of the kids won’t have experience of a final format and so experience here is incredibly valuable to a young climbers development as a competition climber.
When the finals finish, we will conclude with a short breakdown of the event and be on hand to ask any final questions kids want answered.
