Do Lattice Training work with under-18s?

The short answer is no — unfortunately, we’re not able to offer training services to climbers under the age of 18.

At Lattice, our mission is to support climbers with science-backed, effective training methods that help them reach their goals. While we’re passionate about helping climbers of all abilities improve, we've made the decision not to work with individuals under 18 as part of our standard coaching services.

This decision comes from our responsibility as coaches and professionals. Adolescents are still developing physically, mentally, and emotionally. The training approaches we use with adults aren’t always appropriate for younger athletes, who require specialised programming and closer supervision.

Since all of our services are delivered remotely, we’re unable to offer the level of oversight necessary to safely and effectively support youth climbers. For this reason, we always recommend seeking out an in-person coach with experience in youth development.

We appreciate your understanding, and we remain committed to supporting the climbing community at every stage of their journey — even if sometimes that means recommending someone else.
