Circle City Climbing Team

Circle City Climbing Team is Indiana's premier competitive youth climbing team, led by Head Coach Jessi Haynes, Assistant Coaches Ryan Gadberry and Jake Krebs and Speed Coach Ben Jennings. Our primary goals for our athletes are health, well-being, independence, education, a service-minded commitment to their sport and community, and character development through competitive sport. We keep character and inclusivity at the forefront of all we do. The primary focus of our program is preparing our athletes for high-level competitive rock climbing. Our program is open to ages 8-19 and includes training in all three primary competitive climbing disciplines - sport, speed and bouldering. Our coaches have produced National and International Champions, professional climbers, climbing coaches, triathletes and fitness professionals (and an Olympian!) through our continued commitment to the development of the athlete as a whole person.
