Australian Youth Climbing Team 2012
The Australian Youth Climbing Team Selection Trials were held at Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym Villawood on Saturday 17th of March. The higher selection standards that have been introduced as part of the Sport Climbing Australia Youth Develoment Policy 2012-14 have led to a huge jump in the abilities of our young climbers. They are training harder than ever and approaching their climbing with enthusiasm and dedication, two things they'll need to compete at the IFSC World Youth Championships this year in August.
29 climbers from 5 states turned up ready to earn the chance to travel to Singapore as part of the Australian Youth Climbing Team.
Fourteen climbers qualified:
| Youth B Female | Roxy Perry (Victoria) |
| Youth B Male | Bryson Klein (NSW) |
| Campbell Harrison (Victoria) | |
| Youth A Male | Matthew Tsang (NSW) |
| Tyrone Turnbull (NSW) | |
| Zac Fisher (ACT) | |
| Sam Bowman (Queensland) | |
| Kyle Brandon (Queensland) | |
| Jarred Jordan (NSW) | |
| Junior Female | Lucy Stirling (Queensland) |
| Caitlin Dahl (ACT) | |
| Sarah Davis (Victoria) | |
|
Emma Horan (ACT) |

| Junior Male | Scott Pritchard (NSW) |

Congratulations to these climbers, and to all the climbers who worked so hard to prepare themselves for the selection trials.
A huge thank you must go to Carlie and Christian, our routesetters who worked into the early hours of Saturday morning to prepare five excellent routes. Thanks also to SICG Villawood for allowing us to use their excellent facility.
Thanks and congratulations must also go to all the coaches and mums and dads who prepared the climbers for the big day. The future of our sport looks bright!
