Our junior coaching clubs follow the NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme) framework. For more details on the scheme, visit their website at www.nicas.co.uk.
Membership of Highball’s Junior Coaching Clubs is charged at £44 per month and we guarantee to run a minimum of 40 sessions throughout the year. Members must be aged 8 years or older.
You can sign up to our Coaching Club below, but they are not recommended for absolute beginners as we expect commitment over several months or years. Anyone new to climbing should take part in one or more of the following sessions before deciding whether to commit long-term:
• Highball Play: Available all-year round, ages 6+
• Private Session: Available all-year round, ages 6+. Also suitable for families
• Bouldering School: School Holidays only, ages 8+
• Roped Climbing School: School holidays only, ages 8+
• Afterschool clubs: Available term-time Mon-Fri, ages 8+, 6-week commitment
More information and booking links can be found here for term-time and here for school holidays.

When it is: Weekends – Minimum of 40 sessions per year
Who’s it for: Individuals aged 8-17
