THE SPORTROCK PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE PROGRAMS & EVENTS

Dusting Off The Cobwebs:
Pre-Season Youth Training Camp

The 2024/25 USA Climbing Youth Bouldering season is just around the corner! To kick things off and give your young climbers an edge, we’re thrilled to invite you to our Pre-Season Youth Camp at SRPI.​

Where:

  • Sportrock Performance Institute

When:

  • Saturday, September 14th, 2024

    • Block A: 9AM - 1PM

    • Block B: 2PM - 6PM

      • Athletes only have to choose one block to participant in. ​

What to Expect:

Our camp will be led by two of SRPI's very best, Ryan DeBlock and Jeremy Ho, alongside other Sportrock coaches. Ryan and Jeremy have spent years refining their coaching techniques, emphasizing the development of climbing skills, and movement mechanics over simply instructing athletes on how to execute a particular move. This approach empowers athletes to grasp complex sequences and apply their understanding broadly, rather than just mastering a single move on a specific boulder. 

This 4-hour camp will include:

  • A 4-Boulder Mock Round: We will utilize our in-house resources to simulate onsight competition rounds, specific to each category.

  • Post-Round Coaching Debrief: Athletes will receive valuable feedback and insights from our expert coaches.

  • Open Projecting Time: An opportunity to revisit the boulders from the round and apply the feedback provided in the coaching debrief.

  • 1-on-1 Coaching Interactions: Athletes will receive individualized guidance from our coaches and routesetters.

We are thrilled to have two of the top professionals in the routesetting industry for this camp: USA Climbing Level 5 National Head Routesetters Jeremy Ho and Mike Bockino. They will be leading the charge in curating category-specific rounds. If you're unfamiliar, these two bring a wealth of combined experience in championship routesetting—more than almost any other pair in the country. Mike has served as Head Routesetter for Youth Nationals more times than anyone else in the nation, whereas Jeremy has acted as HRS for dozens of Championship level events for over a decade, including roles as Head Routesetter for the US Team Trials and NACS.

This 90 minute clinic will teach participants how to integrate board-style climbing and spray walls into their repertoire of training and movement practice.
