Youth Academy Term 1 & Competition Team Trials
The Uprising Youth Academy has been our best-kept secret for several years, with a long waiting list and fully subscribed classes since its inception. This year we are expanding the program and now have some places available for climbers aged 7-12 years.
Youth Academy
Classes begin from February 9th and run on Monday, Thursday or Saturday. Spaces are limited. The Youth Academy is a grassroots climbing coaching program, taking young climbers from their first steps on the wall all the way to the highest level.

Youth Competition Teams
As talent has developed in the Youth Academy, we have also been providing competition-focused classes for young climbers interested in competing. Due to demand and the development of our coaching team, we are now taking expressions of interest for climbers who may be keen to join these classes.
The classes are open to climbers aged 8 to 15, but spaces are limited. We will hold an open trial event in the first week of February 2026, and previous competition results may also be considered. If your young climber is interested in trialling, please complete the expression of interest form and we’ll provide final trial details this month. These classes will run on Tuesdays for Term 1 between 4pm and 6pm for ages 8-12 and Thursdays 5pm for those aged 13+yrs.
