SUBCLUB SESSIONS

Climbing coaching for 7+ years

SubClubs are fun, structured kids climbing lessons designed for children aged 7+.

Each 60 minute session focuses on building confidence, improving climbing technique, and developing problem-solving skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

Weekday sessions are grouped by age to support progression, while weekend classes are open to mixed ages. We also offer low-ratio groups tailored for children with additional needs, ensuring every child can enjoy climbing at Substation Macclesfield.

★★★★★

We took 10 members of our youth group to Substation and had a fantastic time. The staff were brilliant! Most of them hadn't been bouldering before and some were a bit nervous but the leaders instantly made everyone feel at ease and we all had great fun.

ROUTES FOR ALL LEVELS

Relaxed atmosphere, good climbing routes for all levels, ages, fitness levels. Good price. There is a upper level for kids. Food was nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking wasn't a problem.
