Oaktown Boulders is a proud participants in the NorCal Youth Climbing League (YCL) during both the Fall and Spring seasons. We encourage all students enrolled in our Afterschool Programs to join the Oaktown Boulders Team and experience the excitement of competitive climbing in a supportive environment.
The NorCal YCL competitions provide a positive, low-pressure environment for students to push their limits, learn new skills, and build confidence. As coaches, we see firsthand how these events help climbers develop resilience, teamwork, and a deeper love of the sport. Competing helps students set goals and celebrate their progress—plus, it’s a great way for families to connect with the wider Bay Area climbing community! (League Info)
