Team Texas is a world-class youth climbing team. Team Texas athletes compete on the national (USA Climbing) and world level (International Federation of Sport Climbing). Athletes range from 6 to 19 years old and practices are hosted at Dallas/Fort Worth Movement gyms.
As we roll into upcoming the USA Climbing season, we are holding an assessment for anyone interested in Team Texas and competing in USA Climbing. Ages 6-17 are welcome to tryout! See details below -
Location - Movement Plano, 525 Talbert Dr, Plano, TX 75093
This assessment will follow a team practices format, featuring various stations where athletes can showcase their skills and receive coaching from different Team Texas coaches. This format provides insight into how the athletes perform in a practice setting and how they handle the intensity of training, mirroring their daily practice experiences. Athletes will rotate through speed climbing, rope climbing, and bouldering stations at our Team Texas Training Center next to the main gym. After this assessment, athletes that we believe would be a good fit will be invited to a secondary tryout during regular practice times the follow week. All athletes will receive direct feedback on their assessment to support and further their climbing journey.
Items needed - Please wear comfortable clothing and bring climbing shoes, harness, and chalk bag if you have it. Should you need rental gear, it will be available for participants during the tryout.
For older athletes, lead climbing experience is not required but is a great addition to your skillset.
If you would like, you may show up 15 minutes prior to the start time. We will be giving the climbers warm up time built into the plan for the day though!
From 1:00-1:30 PM, while athletes are warming up, we will hold a parent meeting led by our Team Texas Head Coach. They will provide an overview of the team and address frequently asked questions regarding pricing, scheduling, requirements, and more. Parents are welcome to stay at the gym for the remainder of the tryout, or may leave and come back at pickup.
