The GOAT Climbing Team Youth Program
Climbing is a community sport which resonates with us at GOAT Climbing Gym. Our management team, our owners and their families have grown up within the community of climbing – as climbers inside and outside, as coaches, parents and competitors. And it is from this community that the Goat Climbing Gym youth program was born and intends to flourish.
The GOAT Climbing team is composed of two tracks; our recreational tribe team and our competitive team. Our goal for the Goat Climbing Team is to create a community tribe of confident young adults who will go on to climb for life together, mentor younger members of the team and enjoy representing the gym at local, Regional, Divisional and National Championships!
All members of the Goat Youth program are eligible for a team discount on all items in the GOAT retail area.
