“Don’t be afraid to fail.
Be afraid not to try.”
A Rock Climbing Team
United Rocks is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses competitive rock climbing to support kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities, ages 3+.
We have created a rock climbing team for kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We have practices Sundays for 2 hours.
It’s amazing to see the progress that our kids are accomplishing every week! Either with their climbing goals, staying focus or as simple as following directions.
Climbing Team Tryouts
Our team is growing super fast, we want to keep practices safe and fun for everyone. We are working on the “Tryout Form” (it will be posted soon), in the mean time if you have questions please email mariana@unitedrocks.org
TRYOUTS ARE SUNDAYS* FROM 10am to 12pm, at SUMMIT CLIMBING GYM, 525 TALBERT DR, PLANO, TX 75093.
*NO PRACTICE ON THE 3rd Sunday of every month.
Give us at least 2-3 days notice before your visit so we can make sure we have plenty of volunteers so you and your climber have a great experience!
