Whether they&#8217;ve been climbing for years or have never seen a climbing wall in their life, there is a place for them on one of our Recreational <span class=\"il\">Teams<\/span>. Rec Team is a non-competitive climbing <span class=\"il\">team<\/span> for kids interested in improving their climbing in a fun pressure-free environment. Kids will focus on technique, strength building, teamwork, and problem solving through the use of games, <span class=\"il\">team<\/span> building, and trust exercises. They will also learn valuable life skills such as trust, concentration, and communication. It may also serve as a bridge for any kid who wants to enter the world of competitive climbing. A Rec Team membership allows climbers to participate during the following hours with our coaches. The membership also allows climbers to come climb at our gym anytime during standard business hours.<\/div>\n<h4><strong>Recommended Ages 8+ to 13<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Practice Times:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday &amp; Wednesday | 3:30-5:00 PM<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Monday &amp; Wednesday | 5:00-6:30 PM\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>*A $5.00 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes a guardian is late picking up from practices.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Cost:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>$150 per month (includes membership and gear)<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Trial Class:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Trial classes for the Rec Team can be booked using the calendar &gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruxclimbingcenter.com\/south-austin\/calendar\/\">Calendar Link.<\/a> Pick a date available and purchase a ticket.
