About Maurice…

Maurice Cureton grew up in Compton, CA. Sports was a daily part of Maurice’s childhood but he narrowed his focus to football in high school. It wasn’t until his 20s that he discovered climbing at Rock City Climbing Gym in Anaheim, CA. Two years later, he brought his would-be wife, Tasha, to the gym for their first date. He went into gym management and then joined the youth coaching team before eventually becoming the owner of Rock City Climbing Gym with Tasha. Much has changed over the last 20 years, but the heart of Rock City and Maurice’s dedication to his athletes has only grown.

Maurice is a USA Climbing Level 2 Coach and Level 1 Setter with experience coaching the USA National Youth Team at Youth Worlds, coaching and presenting at USA Climbing Youth Festivals, doing competition analysis, coaching athletic development, and even experience coaching swim, football and basketball.

Maurice’s coaching whether it be with his team or thru 1-on-1 sessions focuses on his athlete’s ability to be self-sufficient regardless of the challenges that lie ahead. He challenges his athletes to develop strong work ethics and to hone in on their competition strategies and mindsets.. What really sets Maurice apart is his ability to assess his athletes overall physical, social and mental strengths and weakness to create a training plan catered to each individual’s long term goals.
