*Once our PNTC is full, a waitlist will be created, and spots will be given to athletes as they become available. Some spots may open on or just after June 17th when athletes learn if they have earned a spot to compete at Nationals. Athletes on the waitlist should be prepared for last minute camp invitations. To join the waitlist please send the parent's name, athlete's name, age, age/gender category, region, disciplines competing in during Nationals, address, phone number, and email address to contactus@ssclimbingteam.com
*Athletes currently on our PNTC waiting list are welcome to register for the Summer Combined Training Camp while on the PNTC waitlist.
