Whether climbing or coaching indoors, on the crags, or in the Alps our workshops cover a range of themes that will broaden your knowledge and improve your coaching.
FUNdamentals of Climbing - Good technique and movement are the bedrock of climbing. These three workshops progressively explore climbing movement.
Coaching Children - Learn how to maximize the impact of your coaching sessions where young climbers are motivated to learn through fun, enjoyment and challenge.
Physical Training - Two workshops that progressively explore the principles of physical training and the design of periodised training plans.
