Nook Climbing Team
The Nook Climbing Team (NCT) is designed for both recreational and competitive youth climbers. NCT members will work with experienced, dedicated coaches to develop climbing technique, build strength, endurance, and improve their overall understanding and appreciation for the sport. NCT members will train both on and off the wall throughout the season. Part of the NCT member development is working with the Nook’s Sports performance trainers to improve climbing specific strength and conditioning. NCT members can travel and compete in both local/regional bouldering competitions throughout the season, as well as outdoor climbing days when the weather permits.
This year we will also be adding in classroom time to increase technical knowledge of climbing skills, rope and anchor management, and nutrition for climbing.
Climbers must be highly motivated, well behaved individuals who are looking to progress their climbing skills and/or compete in local and regional USA Climbing sanctioned events.
