Policies For Contact Teams

 

Membership and Gear Discounts

All of our Team Dues include gym membership and rentals during practice. Club members are encouraged to have their own gear if they plan on competing. All team members will receive 10% off in our gear shop.

 

Payment Policy

All Team Dues require an EFT on the first of each month. If your child is going to quit the team, we need a 2 week notice via email, so we have time to fill their spot with another participant. A one-time non-refundable $25 Sign Up Fee will be paid at the time of application to a team.

 

Missed Classes

We do not offer makeup classes. Regardless of the reason for absence, participants are encouraged to utilize their memberships to come into the gym on their own time. We offer free orientations and belay lessons for parents who would like to come in with their children outside of class time. Outside of team practice children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Food

Team members are allowed to bring their own snacks, and/or we have snacks available at the gym for purchase. If it is ok for your child to purchase snacks on your card on file make sure you tell our staff so that they can make a note in the system.

 

Team Schedule

Rec and Club teams run year-round. No practices are held on Washington County Public School Holidays or Breaks.

 

Competition Requirements

Club team athletes have the option to attend competitions, but it is not required. At this level we suggest seeking out non-sanctioned community competitions that will introduce your child to the competitive environment of climbing without too much pressure. Rec team members are encouraged to withhold from competition until joining club team. To learn more about our competitive vision email info@contactclimbinggym.com with your questions.

 

USA Climbing Membership

To compete in USA Climbing competitions your child must have an active USAC membership prior to their first competition. To learn more about USA Climbing and to purchase a membership go to: http://www.usaclimbing.org/Members/Membership_FAQ.htm. If your child would like to compete, they only need an introductory membership. They do not need to join if they are not competing.
