Team Texas is a world-class youth climbing team. Team Texas athletes compete on the national (USA Climbing) and world level (International Federation of Sport Climbing). Athletes range from 7 to 19 years old and practices are hosted at Dallas/Fort Worth Movement gyms.

Founded in 1996, Team Texas is the longest-running, and most successful youth climbing team in the nation. While we are a competitive bunch, we also believe in the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team and having respect for the environment, as well as for each other.

The Team Texas mission is to provide youth athletes with the opportunities to experience the rewarding moment when hard work and commitment are matched with accomplishment and success. Team Texas consists of several sub-teams, all tailored to different skill levels and ages.

Pre Team
Pre-Team is for athletes between the ages of 7-10 that are driven to advance in their climbing. Athletes prepare for Core Team through age appropriate training, technique drills, individualized coaching, and local competitions.

Core Team
Most Team Texas athletes begin their competitive journey on Core Team! Athletes are between the ages 11 to 19 and train at minimum three days a week. Core Team athletes compete in all climbing disciplines: rope climbing, bouldering, and speed climbing!

Elite Team
Elite Team is for athletes ages 11 to 19 that are committed to taking the next step in their climbing. Athletes follow a rigorous training schedule of four or more days a week to perform at a high level during competitions. Invitations to Elite Team are done on a season-by-season basis.

Speed Team
Speed Climbing practices are designed for climbers aged 11 to 19 who are eager to enhance their speed climbing skills. Athletes focus on developing technique, strength, and routine on the standardized speed route. Practices are offered four days per week for different age groups and experience levels.
