The Banff Centre Climbing Wall will be hosting their first annual Coaching and Youth Climbing Conference. There will be two components of the conference - one aimed at those interested in coaching youth climbing and the second for youth climbers looking to improve their competition climbing skills.

The Coaching Conference will be hosted from November 6 - 10, 2008 during the world famous Banff Mountain Film Festival. It will feature seminars with industry professionals, technical development, and practical training times with youth climbers. Guest speakers include professionals from the fields of sports psycology, sports nutrition, physiotherapy, and more. We are fortunate to have Andrew Wilson, Head Coach of the Canadian Youth National Team, joining us to share his experiences as a top-level youth competition climbing coach as well.

Fee: 5 + taxes

The Youth Climbing Conference will be hosted from November 7 - 10, 2008. This is for all climbers between the ages of 9 - 19 years who are looking for a competitive edge for the upcoming season. Sessions with a variety of coaches and guest speakers will be provided as will time in the climbing gym, gymnasium, weight room, and swimming pool. On November 10, a mock competition will be provided to try out your new skills with immediate feedback from coaches.

Fee: 5 + taxes/climber or 0 + taxes/climber if more tahn one youth per family is registering at the same time.
