LEGACY
Adding a Traverse Climbing Wall to your School Playground is the most cost effective, exciting and mentally and physically challenging addition your school can currently invest in. Year on year it is a legacy that can be changed, varied and upgraded to continually add interest and new challenges to each generation of children.
WORLDS MOST NATURAL SPORT
We were all ‘Monkeys’ and its still in our genes, grasping, moving, swinging, balancing, holding, laughing at the joy and ease of unencumbered movement. We just forget by the time we are 10. Catching kids under this age, you can see the monkey instinct return and this has a very noticeable knock on effect for all coordination and motor skills elsewhere in life. Climbing is an ambidextrous activity! Climbing requires a precise delivery of power, accuracy and timing in hands and feet, an acute awareness of centre of gravity and distribution of weight. What other sport does so much for so little!
SAFE
Most importantly they are safe when used responsibly because the footholds are no more than 600mm from the ground (ROSPA’s) recommended limit without neccessary fall protection from above or below. In reality, the chances of falling off a picnic bench and hurting oneself are greater! Teachers need no special qualifications and do not need to supervise the walls. return to top 
SCHOOL DYNAMICS
The visual impact of these walls adds immeasurable worth to the dynamics of a school playground. These addictive walls draw the kids in and keep them fixated for days on end, offering unlimited play opportunities and games in competition with themselves and others as they make progress along the coloured, numbered, funster or alphabet holds. Murals can even be added to give topical local scenes and landscapes or cool skate, water or board type backdrops to the holds. return to top
PHYSICAL EXERCISE TARGETS
With the drive to encourage kids into more physical exercise and active participation in Outdoor Activities in schools, these walls fulfil all the criteria set out in educational and government aims. Indeed, when you add in the cooperation, team building, self esteem and communication skills these walls undoubtedly encourage the kids to develop, you have an unbeatable value for money addition to your school, youth club or scout hall indoor or out. The school as a whole also benefits from having access to a piece of equipment that enables you to meet local and regional authority targets on activities and participation without having to dedicate teaching staff to this aim. Children can develop their skills independently during break times or as part of a structured learning program during, say, P.E. time. return to top
