The England National and Regional Squad system offers a programme of activity for selected athletes and supports the athlete in developing their performance standards and styles through the key areas of technical, tactical, physical, psychological, nutrition and lifestyle, whilst maintaining the GB Climbing core values of Health, Performance and Respect.

The ClimbScotland squad system is an opportunity for us to provide targeted support to young climbers across Scotland who have shown themselves to have performance potential and are driven to pursue their own climbing progression.

National Indoor Climbing Award Schemes (NICAS) are an introduction to climbing and provide a gateway to learning more and developing a love for the sport. The key aim is to provide a safe and fun foundation for a lifetime of positive climbing experiences. The nationally-recognised schemes help to standardise the teaching and coaching of climbing in a structured manner. There are approx. 270 centres that run NICAS schemes.

The GB teams include Lead, Speed, Boulder, Para, Ice and Skimo.
