Competitive Teams
At inSPIRE Rock, our teams are designed to meet the needs of climbers with diverse experience levels and ages. Our curriculum has been developed focusing on four core concepts, Fundamentals, Fun, Fitness, and Friends. We aim to support our climbers as they strengthen their bodies and minds and meet their goals through indoor rock climbing. Besides being experienced and supportive, our coaching staff is fun, energetic, and accommodating. Sign Up today to get your child climbing on one of our teams.
Climbers are required to practice with the team 4 hours per week. They are allowed and encouraged to compete in the same competitions as the competition team but are not required to do so. This is a great place to develop your climbing skills and strength and find out if being a competitive climber is for you.

Competition Climbing is an exciting individual sport. There are several formats in competition climbing. In all formats the team member is competing with youth their same age.
Speed climbing is a timed sport. The climber begins when their foot leaves the ground and ends when they touch the timer at the top to stop the clock. It is fun, exciting, and all ages can compete.
Sport climbing generally offers two formats for climbing competitions. With the on-sight format, the climber is given one chance to get to the top. Each hold is given a point value. The climber gets full points if they get to the top. Climbers are not allowed to see the route before climbing it, and must wait for their turn to climb. Usually they climb 3-4 routes, and the scores are cumulated to give the climber’s final score.
The red-point format is a little more laid back. The climber is given a fixed amount of time to complete their routes. This is usually 2.5 to 3 hours. Each climb is given a fixed value.
The Bouldering formats are similar to those used in Sport climbing, but scoring for Bouldering is based on zones/tops instead of each hold.
The Regional, Divisional, and National competitions formats vary, but are typically on-sight.
USA Climbing is the national governing body of competition climbing in the United States.
We promote three competition disciplines: bouldering, sport and speed climbing.
USA Climbing receives sanctioning and is recognized by: The International Federation for Sport Climbing (IFSC – formerly known as the International Council for Competition Climbing or the ICC), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).
