Pole Vault

Learn what it will take for you to take your vault to the next level! Whether you’re fine tuning your skills or learning how to pole vault for the very first time, our world-class coaches will give you the tools you need to raise the bar.

Each camper will be placed in a group with vaulters at a similar level so coaching/training for each group is very focused. Our coach-to-athlete ratio is fantastic and will ensure that every single vaulter will receive a ton of one-on-one time from the best coaching staff in the country!
