You should do Junior Olympics. Last year they were in Eugene, Oregon and I had a blast. Great place to vault. Everyone at JO's were all really nice. Good luck, keep us posted! :yes:

USATF.org

That should give you a link to your area. You have to go to a USATF qualifying meet, here its at a district level, then regional. I think the top two advance, not sure though.

I bet on their site you can find out info for your area.

Good luck!

AAU

The summer AAU programs and USATF programs are GREAT! If you can get into one I highly recommend it. In the East Tennessee area there are several programs. If you are interested check out the Knoxville Track Clubs site www.ktc.org. I (and probably agapit) will be coaching the pole vault here in Knoxville.

But I highly recommend the summer programs to anyone who wants to learn properly, improve, or just have a ball!!!
