The drills taught during this clinic are used by the most successful vaulters and are important no matter the skill level of the athlete. The drills learned in the sessions will build the foundation needed to become a successful vaulter. The importance of vaulting safely will be emphasized as well as selecting the proper equipment to use while vaulting. The last part of the clinic will be dedicated to vaulting practice. Athletes should bring their own pole, helmet, running shoes/spikes. A few poles will be available for use.

Highlights of the clinic as well as analysis of vaults will be available on video. The cost of the clinic will be $15.00 per person. Each athlete must bring the signed wavier form below.
