About Beta for Coaches
We're building tools to help climbing coaches run better, more intentional practices, without the stress of scrambling for ideas every week.
From Book to Platform
Beta for Coaches is built on the foundation of 101 Climbing Games, a book created by Coach Hailey after years of coaching youth teams. What started as a personal collection of games and activities to keep practices fresh and effective has grown into a full platform for climbing coaches.

The Brain Behind the Games
Hailey has been coaching youth climbing teams since 2014 and currently coaches at The Crag Nashville. She believes everyone can grow from climbing — and that coaching should be about building confidence and abilities, not just sending harder.
After years of collecting, creating, and illustrating climbing games, she put together 101 Climbing Games so coaches everywhere could help their climbers develop skills in a fun, intentional way. Beta for Coaches is the next step: bringing those games (and more) into an easy-to-use platform with planning tools and ongoing education.
What is Beta for Coaches?
Beta for Coaches will help you revolutionize your youth programming! From a single platform, you can browse over 160 games, drills, and activities and add them to lists to make lesson planning a breeze. You can also expect additional planning features and resources, all being developed by and with real coaches, for real coaching challenges.
