Poles

[rhsvaulter]

Alright so my school likes to binge on it's support for the football team and such but is seriously lacking in stuff like track. My coach has finally pulled a few favors in order to get me off the ancient poles we have and onto one that fits me. The school will only agree to pay for it if we can compare it to other prices and show them we are getting it cheaper than most. Where is the best places to get poles that are not overly expensive but don't lack quality either. I live in Michigan if that helps!

Where do you live? The best price is when you can find a dealer close to you that has poles in stock so you don't have to pay shipping.

Become a USATF member through their website for around $20.00/year i think and everything at MF Athletic is 10% off, including poles. I use this all the time when buying poles for my high school. It basically comes out to free shipping, but you won't find any discounts on pole anywhere else from my experience. Plus, MF carries the major brands of poles like Pacer and UCS.

You get other bonuses for being a member of course. You have to be a member to participate in a USATF club, which is one of the only ways to keep vaulting out of season or outside of school.
