Bridge Team

The Bridge Team is our pre-competitive track for climbers that are dedicated to improving their climbing abilities. Through a more intensive program, with climbing drills, skill-building activities, and fitness, participants will improve their technique, learn new skills, and build strength.

Bridge Team is an invite-only program for climbers (ages 9-13) who are looking for a more rigorous class to provide greater climbing progression. Invitation to this program is subject to our coaches’ discretion and is based on their commitment, behavior, and skill level.

Our Bridge Team program provides intensive classes designed to improve technique, movement, route-reading, proprioception, and strength. During the class, participants will engage in warm-ups, structured projecting, climbing drills, games, and activities, and fitness. Our goal is to prepare climbers for a potential invitation to the competitive teams and to expose them to the basics of climbing training.

Participants in this program are not guaranteed placement into the competitive teams. If a participant chooses not to pursue competitive climbing but wishes to remain a part of a youth program, they are welcome to continue participating in our NYC Titans or Recreational Team programs.

How to Register

Bridge Team is an intermediary step in between recreational climbing and competitive climbing. As such, it has its own unique requirements and enrollment process. There will be no Open tryouts/enrollment period for the Bridge Team. Trial sessions of an appropriate scale will be held over the summer or at the beginning of each semester based on open spot availability and program interest.

The main requirement for any child to be considered for a tryout is that they must have participated in at least one semester (5-6 months consecutively) in regular youth programming at an indoor rock climbing gym, similar to our NYC Titans or Rec. Team programs. If your child meets that requirement, please fill out the interest form above. Our youth programming team will contact you regarding a trial for your child as we make plans for the next semester with openings on the Team.

Some notes regarding this process:

***Filling out the interest list form does not guarantee placement in either a trial or the youth programs themselves*** This is only used to keep track of those who wish to receive notice when the trial session booking period is about to open.
For any questions not addressed here, feel free to e-mail manhattanbridge@centralrockgym.com and our coaches will be happy to help. Please note that registration for our youth teams cannot be accomplished by emailing this inbox.
Booking a trial session does not guarantee program placement. Coaches will inform participants of their decision once every prospective participant for a given semester has completed their trial session.
