if you are too lazy to type in all of that (like me) the website "usa pole vault academy" has it all on there.

Is ANYONE interested?????? If you live in the VA. area(or va.of couse) then you should try this out. when i went this past summer there were people from ohio, maryland and west virginia not just va. Jim Keys is a great guy to work with and knows sooooooo much about the pole vault.

I live in VA and I'm new to this board. Even though I haven't touched a pole in 19 years, I've been toying with the idea of getting back into it and joining a Masters Club. Unfortunately, I havent been able to find one.

Thanks for the info on George Mason. Would you happen to have any info on Masters Track Clubs that might want to take a look at an "over the hill" vaulter?

Hmm...not too sure of any but i could try and find out.
it seems as though there just aren't as many clubs or camps and clinics in VA. as there are in other states. i guess the interest in the sport isn't as high as it is in other places or something, but i find the lack dissapointing. Who knows though, there's probably something out there close by and i just don't know it yet.

I just found out that Jim Keys will be holding an Indoor Track Pole Vault Camp starting on January 14th at George Mason. I am looking into signing up for it if my wife will let me. She's worried that I am going to kill myself.

haha. don't worry about it. it's like riding a bike, right? jim keys is a great person!

I've sent a pre-registration email for the Clinic. My wife reluctantly gave her consent. She's still not happy about the safety concerns but decided that if it was something I would have fun doing, she won't stop me.

That's great!!!! My wife was the same way when I started messing around with the idea. Now she is learning to jump!!

I have a question for anyone who can answer. I sent in a pre-registration email and the registration form along with my check for the fee.

How long does it take to get a confirmation? I spoke with Coach Ebanks on the phone and he said he'd check to see if my package was in.

I'm starting to worry that maybe I didn't get my stuff in on time.
