How do I book a trial?
Choose a programme, pick a Dubai venue and session, then send a trial request. We confirm by email and ask you to complete the waiver before arrival.
What age can my child start?
Youth academy groups typically start from age 6, grouped by age and experience. Private coaching is available when a smaller ratio is a better fit.
What should we wear?
Comfortable sports clothing, trainers, and a water bottle. Climbing shoes can be hired if required. Complete the waiver before you arrive.
Are the walls safe for children?
Sessions run on partner school walls with certified coaches, harness checks, and published coach-to-student ratios.
Where do you train?
GEMS World Academy (Al Barsha South), GEMS Wellington Al Khail, and Swiss Scientific School Dubai (Al Jaddaf).
Do I pay online?
Trial requests are confirmed by the academy team. Programme fees are shared during confirmation.
What if the class is full?
Full sessions can be waitlisted. We will offer the next open slot at the same venue or another Ascent wall.
Is the waiver mandatory?
Yes. Every participant needs a completed waiver before climbing. Use the confirmation page or the Waiver route.
How do cancellations work?
Tell us as soon as you cannot attend. Waitlisted families are offered released spaces first.
