Club Teams
Freestone’s Club Teams are a great starting point for any young athlete interested in climbing. These ongoing programs are great for climbers who have just started or have had a few years in the sport and are eager to learn more. We are proud to offer three different levels of our club teams: Intro Club Team, Intermediate Club Team, and Advanced Club Team.

Q. I’m not sure which Club Team is right for me. Can I try out a practice or two before deciding I want to join the After School Program?
A. Definitely! Please reach out to kids@freestoneclimbing.com to schedule a time to come in and join a practice.
Q. Are there prerequisites to join the program?
A. Depending on which Club Team you are interested in joining, we do have some prerequisites. Please see the description for exact prerequisites for the team you are interested in.
Q. What’s the missed practice policy?
A. Due to the number of participants and limited space we do not offer make-up classes, for any reason. Please let a staff member or coach know if your climber will miss a class in advance.
Q. Can we climb outside of practice times?
A. Yes! All of our kids programs dues include a free personal membership for your climber. We do highly encourage participants to use their memberships outside of class time to climb with parents. All climbers under 14 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We offer free belay lessons to parents who want to bring their kids in to climb outside of the normal class times!
Q. Does Freestone offer financial support?
A. Yes, we offer need based scholarships on a case by case basis. Please email kids@freestoneclimbing.com for more information.
