Advanced Plus Team

2012/2013 Advanced Plus Team Member Anna Von Dungen at the 2012 Teva Mountain Games

Advanced Plus Team athletes work on strength, flexibility and correct technique of basic climbing skills.  On this level, special emphasis is placed on perfecting and refining basic skills and perfecting the skills the athletes will need at Regionals and Divisionals. Leadership skills as well as learning how to receive and be responsible for sponsorships begins at this level. Poise, grace, agility and determination are strong components of the Advanced Plus Team. Professional climbers will guest coach throughout the year. The European injury prevention method of Bio-Mechanics is a regular part of training, as is mental training with the world’s leading expert on youth mental preparedness for climbing–Coach Didier Raboutou.

Advanced Plus Team members compete in five or six events per season within our state. Athletes may be asked to travel outside of the state for Divisionals and other competitions when appropriate.

A membership to ABC Kids Climbing is included and is exclusive to kids on an ABC team.
