[quote=Anonymous]Agree on the supportive team environment at Movement (my child climbs at the Crystal City location). The coaches don't push the kids to compete until they are ready (usually at least a year after climbing regularly). Competitive team practices are 2 times per week (kids under 13) or 3 times per week (kids 13+) plus workouts on their own, but there is a range of levels (from intro to advanced to competition team) depending on each climber's skill level and desired level of commitment. The climbing world is a relatively small community where local climbing kids know each other and we've heard Sportrock runs a strong program as well. I'd recommend climbing regularly for at least 3 months at the closest gym (or signing up for a class or camp) and see how your child likes it. Gymnasts and dancers tend to transition well into climbing once they build the technical skills.[/quote]
