The USA’s Top Speed Climbers Train at Speed Camp in Texas

This past weekend, 21 of the country’s top Speed Climbing athletes came together for USA Climbing’s Speed Training Camp, hosted at Movement Plano. The camp offered valuable lessons, both on and off the 15-meter speed wall, to help refine athletes’ performance this season.

Olexiy Shulga, Head Coach of Team CRG Atlanta, led the climbing programming, having extensive experience working with some of the highest-performing Speed Climbers in the country. Multiple officials from the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee also traveled to support athletes, including Amanda Fleece, Senior Strength & Conditioning Coach, and Sean McCann, Senior Psychological Services Provider.

Of course, another goal of the camp was simply to bring athletes together from around the country. Many only have that opportunity during competition, but training camps allow top athletes to compare programming and techniques, as well as refine their skills in a more collaborative space.

The camp was the latest stop on the road to National Team Trials, will be held at Mesa Rim in Austin, TX on March 12-16, 2025. It will be the second and final National Team selection event for the Elite series, awarding inclusion on the 2025 National Team.
