Practices:

Climbing practice is held on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon:

We climb twice at school, usually on Mon and Tues from 14:30 – 16:00. We usually go to either The Cave or The Barn on Wednesdays. We leave immediately after school at 14:00 and return at 17:30. This costs an additional fee of R50 per week. You may choose to climb on only two days or you may climb three times a week. This is to allow you to participate in the other sports offered at school as well.  We have a professional coach training the boys.

 

Equipment:

You are not required to have your own equipment. Boys High PT Kit to be worn at practices.

 

Competitions:

There are two League Climbing Competitions held during the year. The Bouldering League takes place at the beginning of the year during the first term and consists of 5/6 competitions. The second League Competition is the Lead Climbing Competition and it takes place in the third term and also stretches across 6 – 8 weeks. At the close of each of the League Competitions, there is a selection of the top 5 climbers to represent Gauteng Climbing at The National Bouldering and Lead Climbing Competitions. Dates are only available early in February.

The Inter-house Climbing will be held in the third term on 25 – 26 September.

Some of our achievements include:

• Nine-time National Top Schools Champions
• Consistently receiving the award for Best Squash School in Pretoria
• School with the most South African representatives at the World Junior Mens Championships
• Consistently producing SA Schools ranked
• Producing a large number of Old Boys who go on to represent the Northern Gauteng Men’s Team at the prestigious Jarvis Cup Interprovincial Tournament

 

Aside from these achievements, we are very proud of the quality of the average player that we produce. This can be seen by the high number of Old Boys playing Mens League in Pretoria who continue to play the game we love, for years after leaving school. This is attributed to the excellent squash culture that we have at Pretoria Boys High School, where we focus on improving playing standards while never losing sight of the most important aspect: enjoying the game!

 

Many of our players only started playing squash upon their arrival at Boys High and with the support of an excellent setup, which includes excellent coaches, professional strength and conditioning managers and a superb admin staff, all boys learn to play and love the game of squash.
