Join our Climbing Teams!
There is no barrier to starting on the team! Simply, fill out the form below, attend the trial period, choose which team you want to join, be committed and climb on! Depending on the size of the gym we limit the number of climbers on team, you can be added to our waitlists.
We have created rock climbing teams to support individuals with different abilities to promote physical, mental and social skills. The minimum age requirement to participate is 5, no maximum age to participate.
At United Rocks, we have an option for every skill level. Our goal is to create a community where kids and adults with different abilities feel safe, learn new skills, be part of a team, have fun and compete on the national stage.
Our partnerships with climbing gyms across the U.S. give our Climbing Teams the opportunity to climb at various gyms when we organize events. Each practice is held at a climbing gym with a trained United Rocks team. Our team includes gym managers, volunteer coordinators, coaches, and volunteers.
We have practices once a week for 2 hours all year long except on the 3rd Sunday of every month, when our awesome volunteers take a well-deserved break! We are established in four states, Texas, California, Virginia and Colorado. Our practice locations are at Movement gyms in Plano, Grapevine and Design District in Texas, Dyno Rock in Arlington, Texas and Movement Englewood in Colorado.
Coming soon are Canyons in Frisco, Texas, Movement Crystal City in Virginia and Sender One in Santa Ana, California.
Like other sports, it requires consistency and commitment from parents and climbers. That is why we recommend new families to register and come for a free one-month trial. This period of time will give your family the opportunity to try rock climbing and see if this is a good fit for all of you.
Benefits of Rock Climbing
The sport of rock climbing pushes climbers to their limits, instilling within them an immense sense of accomplishment. Rock climbing is a low-impact exercise, which means it is easy on the body, particularly the joints, while still being a great full-body workout.
Builds Physical Strength
Rock climbing is a suitable sport for beginning and advanced climbers alike. It engages and strengthens various muscle groups and improves grip, flexibility, and endurance. It also promotes balance and enhances mobility, contributing to overall physical well-being.
Sharpens Mental Skills
Physical activity stimulates the brain and improves cognitive function. Rock climbing cultivates essential skills like hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. It also improves problem-solving skills and concentration, and even bolsters ambition and self-motivation. Additionally, many climbers experience meditative effects like stress relief.
Promotes Social Interactions
Despite being an individual sport, the climbing community is welcoming and supportive, embracing newcomers and fostering a sense of community. Participating in this sport not only builds confidence, trust, and happiness but also nurtures valuable communication skills. Rock climbing raises self-esteem and offers an excellent platform for social interaction and connection.
