About the Camp: These daily sessions will include a progression of valuable drills done with and without poles and pole-vault mats. We will work on sprint mechanics to improve running and runway speed and do various plyometric and body-weight exercises that will aid in strength and technique. Vaulters will receive handouts with suggested weight-lifting routines, drills, information on technique and a troubleshooting guide. Above all, athletes will have plenty of time for repetition of vaults down the runway. Athletes are encouraged to bring their phones to record jumps for review and feedback.
