best vault schools

Unread postby ~jj~ » Tue Oct 05, 2004 7:32 pm

If your serious about getting a college education and improving your pole vaulting, I urge you to contact me. I have placed a huge number of Central Coast HS kids and Cuesta college kids in 4 year college programs with scholarships over the past 10 years. :)
We offer perfect weather, year round outdoor vaulting

Send me an email for details.....

2. Good team-mates
3. Fun environment
4. Dedication to training
5. Consistent leadership
6. Reasonable meet schedule
7. Safe Facilities
8. Enthusiasm
9. Emphasis on getting a degree

Grades are important, but balance is the key.

University of Miami is a great place to vault. You can vault outdoor all year long (always a plus). They have a million poles, multiple pits, and Bill Faulk coaching you. How cool is that? Oh yeah, it's only about 15 miles to Miami Beach!

The University of Pennsylavania is a pretty incredible place to valut as well. Not just because they host the Penn Relays each year (which is an awe inspiring T&F carnival), but their facility is really cool. The stadium is old and has a very historic feel, just like the rest of the campus. They also have a solid fieldhouse for indoor vaulting. The school has a ton of $$resources$$ so they have multiple pits and poles galore. Too bad the weather in Philly is so miserable.

You might check out the University of Tennessee. A couple pretty good vaulters have come from there. . . . I understand!

I have a couple of ladies who expect to go 13' and one who jumped 13'3.5" last year to win the SEC's. One is a senior this year and the other two are juniors in eligibility. There are none this year behind them. My SEC champ started last year in Jan with a PR of 11'. By March she had set the school record at 13'3.5". A 28" PR improvement. Not bad!!

It's really fun at UT.

We often "allow" Tim and Lo to workout with us. To have the input from Jim Bemiller and Tim Mack and Roman Botcharnikov and Lawrence Johnson is really a unique kind of training. Tim is a real supporter of the Lady Vols!!
