S P O R T S M A N S H I P We strive to create memorable and positive experiences for our participants through our sports programs. We remind parents, coaches, players, and spectators that their actions, both positive and negative, have an impact on kids during these activities. Please be mindful to focus on the positive. Also acknowledge that our staff is prone to make the occasional mistake, as we all are. We are here for the kids! Let’s make sure they have fun playing these wonderful sports!

Ask about getting certified at the front desk! All participants under 18 must have their parent/guardian sign paperwork before certification begins. All participants under 14 must have a parent/guardian or staff member with them who is also certified when they climb. Certification ensures the climber has been trained to safely use the equipment. Rock Climbing/Bouldering is inherently dangerous and climbers assume the risk associated with climbing.
