POLE VAULT CLINIC

November 29 – December 1, 2013


Join us as we continue to Reach New Heights with our state of the art pole vault facility! Get ready for Indoor Season as you train in our new facility that includes two indoor pits with mondo runways and soft boxes, an outdoor pit with a mondo runway, an assortment of gymnastics equipment, a vault machine, a rope, hurdles, and various weights and lifting equipment! New Heights Gym is hosting its 4th annual Thanksgiving pole vaulting clinic with guest collegiate coaches Petros Kyprianou from University of Georgia at Athens, Ken Taylor from University of North Florida, and Aaron James from University of South Alabama. Your host coach from New Heights Gym is Shane LeLeux.

This clinic provides a great opportunity and environment for vaulters to jump indoors, be introduced to correct vaulting techniques and gymnastics, and work with and be seen by recruiting collegiate coaches. The coaches will discuss technique, vault drills, strength, and flexibility, and how to match the correct run, pole, and grip height to each vaulter’s ability.

We will have a selection of poles on hand; but if the vaulter has access to poles, please bring them to the clinic. ¼ Pyramid Spikes only!!!
