Advice Accommodations for USA Youth Climbing
Does anyone have experience with ADA accommodations in youth climbing? My daughter just made our local gym's comp team and this will be our first year competing. She's only done rec comps prior so we don't know exactly what to expect. I am currently reading USA climbing's rules and regulations to help me grasp what is needed, but if you have experience, could you please share tips, thoughts, etc. Or DM me if that is more in your comfort zone. Thanks!
Edit: Added ADA in the body of the paragraph. I realize now that people might look at this and think lodging, etc.

ISO doesn’t come into play until regionals/divisionals, so depending on how good your daughter is, it might not be something you need to worry about.
One option would be to get certified as a USAC coach so you can be in iso with her. You’d just enter her as an independent athlete with yourself as her coach. To be a usac coach you just pay the membership and do safesport, and I think you have to be cpr certified. It’s really just paying the fee.
