In a motivating and supportive environment, they discover what bouldering is, learn new skills, build confidence, and solve problems alongside new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To join the weekday training sessions, children aged 9 to 16 first complete an 8-week introductory course called <strong>\u201cFUNdamentals.\u201d<\/strong> After this course, they can join the weekday group that fits their age and level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weekday groups are organized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Klauterclub:<\/strong> 6 to 9 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>U12:<\/strong> 9 to 12 years <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>U16:<\/strong> 12 to 16 years <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>U21:<\/strong> 17 to 21 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children under 9 join the <strong>Klauterclub<\/strong> directly, while participants aged 17 and older join the <strong>U21<\/strong> weekday group.
