I've done the club thing too and it is highly effective. By far the best way to do it because the liability insurance policy is sent to and names the school from USATF's carrier.

Great to have you back and thanks for reading the blog. Daily pain and sufferring with an attempt to keep the bitching to a minimum! ;-) Both John Large and Howard Booth are champion level masters vaulters from Michigan and frequent this message board.
