To be able to effectively learn and safely compete at this level the following guidelines are used by coaches when choosing athletes.
1. The Athlete code of conduct must be adhered to.
2. A commitment must be made to personal training as this is an athlete centred programme.
5. Parental consent to lead climbing must be gained in order to practice and compete in this discipline.
