There has been a decline in the last couple of years in the number of pole vaulters attending camps over the summer.
Camps are an important means of increasing knowledge and improving their technique.
What I am asking is some assistance in getting the word out about the importance of going to camps for all Junior High and High School vaulters. It is also important for some of the coaches that are not too familiar with the event to go and learn more about the event. As we begin to embark on the summer we are starting another fun summer of hot days, stiff tail winds, and lots of outdoor vaulting we must push to get our athletes at these various camps. During the last couple of years as a coach at Don Hood's World Class Vault Camp I have started to see an increase in the amount of young female vaulters. I think this is great, but it could be better.
