2025-2026 Mid Season Try Out Form

While the initial round of tryouts have concluded for the season, our team will be inviting interested climbers to attend the mid-season tryout option on the Wednesday December 

Tryout Details:

    • There is no cost to attend a tryout session, but all participants need to have a waiver on file.
    • Attendees will be notified by the end of 2025 about their status on team.
    • Youth climbers between ages 9 and 17 are welcome and encouraged to try out for the team.
    • NOTE: Parents are permitted to stay in the building during tryout sessions and practices, but will be asked to observe from a distance so as not to impact climber performance or our coaches’ ability to determine each climber’s experience and ability level.
