Team Texas Youth Climbing Team

Calling all TTX alumni! It’s our 30th anniversary and we’d love to invite alumni that have EVER climbed or coached for Team Texas in our first homecoming event. The morning after banquet, 9/27 between 10am-1pm swing by! Please wear some vintage TTX gear if you have it, grab a brunch item and come hang, mingle, and climb at Carrollton! If you have your senior scrapbook or poster, bring it along to share and revisit old memories! Please pass the word along and TAG any TTX alumni in the comments!

Coach Lawrence (Lawrence Chidozie Osefoh) has been rotating around Movement Gyms Dallas-Fort Worth locations to offer insight to the Movement athletes and their coaches. He’s been enjoying sharing his framework for climbing and getting to know and encourage everyone!

We are just one month away from our 2026 Team Banquet!  If you and your family are planning to attend, please RSVP (alumni and coaches, too!) and purchase your tickets before it’s too late.  Prices will increase again starting September 16th.

Also, next Monday is the LAST day to pre-order your 2025-2026 season Team Yearbook.  After that date, only limited inventory copies will be available to purchase.  

More info and purchasing can be found at https://www.ttxclimbing.org under “Shop”.

We are super stoked to be opening our embroidery gear shop so athletes and families can stock up on uniforms and gear before the new season. We are especially excited about our new partnership with ZIGZAG Climbing. We will be offering a custom vessel chalk bucket with Team Texas patch! Athletes are going to absolutely love these! Pre-order your gear now through 9/19. (please note: you will need premium access on our website to be able to see the order form.)

Team Texas held tryouts Sunday and we look forward to welcoming those invited to tier 2 practices this week! You got this! We can’t wait to meet our new potential teammates!

While a love for the sport of climbing and a willingness to work hard is what brought Kai to Team Texas, the values, community and traditions are what he will take away. Team Texas, coaches and teammates, have been a second family fostering perseverance, independence, sportsmanship, a healthy competitive mindset, fitness, and kindness…but Team has fostered other passions as well like Exploring Dallas for collectible Hot Wheels, exchanging favorite books, paddle boarding on Grapevine Lake, getting lost hiking the Swiss Alps, and summiting his first 14er. He is excited to attend Auburn University in the fall to further explore his passions for aviation and the great outdoors.
