Young Gun Award

The Young Gun Award is one of the most prestigious awards a young climber can receive. If you are an athlete (or parent of an athlete) that has competed in both the ABS & SCS seasons for that last three years, then you are eligible to be nominated for the USAC Young Gun award.  To be nominated, you will need to complete the application form and submit it to your coach(s) and regional coordinators.
Young Gun Award Application
Each certified coach may submit 1 nomination and the regional coordinators can submit 3 nominations.  From this pool of nominations, the USAC young gun selection committee will choose 1 athlete at the ABS National competition to represent our region.  The deadline for submission by the coaches and RCs is 1/16.  Please return your completed forms as soon as possible, January 12th at the latest, so there is time to evaluate the applications.
The criteria for selection are:
  • Commitment to the sport of climbing by having competed for, at least, 3 years in both the ABS and SCS seasons.
  • Demonstrates a leadership/mentorship role that takes places outside of the climbing gym.
  • Demonstrates exemplary sportsmanlike conduct.
  • Demonstrates “service to others” by volunteering within their community.
  • The nominee’s top 6 competition results.
