Then I'd no longer be 'storing' the pads for a school/facility, would I? ;)

I don't have space anyway, and I don't know of anyone that does or would consider doing this. It's pretty much out of the question.

Looks like there's even a "vault-specific" club on there...

I can't find "Elhton" on a map, and if it's supposed to be "Elkton", then it's in the far reaches of north-eastern MD... a considerable drive. :crying:

Beggers can't be choosers, PP. I drove 3 hours once or twice a week to see my high school coach... during school. If you really want to vault, "putting your mind to it" means accepting alternatives. Turns out we don't have permission for vaulters at UMBC since there is no coach there with us. It's a huge liability especially for anyone under 18 and not vaulting in college. I've been doing sand vaulting in various places on my own time, and kept everything to stiff vaulting. Do everything unnofficially, it keeps liability down. That's the big deal with starting a club up, too.

I might have to settle. :(

However, this might change... I've been talking with someone who sees UMBC's coach daily. :yes:

Who might that be? I know one of their vaulters that says otherwise. If you can work it out, great, but i didnt see a way for younger vaulters.
