Reno National Pole Vault Summit

Reno National Pole Vault Summit

The National Pole Vault Summit will be held in Reno, NV. We have had interest and we plan to take coaches and athletes this year. This trip is completely optional. If you'd like to attend, feel free to read on.

The National Pole Vault Summit hosts clubs and vaulters from all over the US. This year it'll be January 17-18th. There'll be a day of teaching/practice, then a day of competition. The speakers are always big pole vault names. They'll also have seminars on athlete prep for the competition and they'll break up into groups for practice. Their practice will be with groups of like ability and with a university or club coach from all over the US. Parents, there was even a seminar specifically for you! The speaker talked about how to prepare your athlete for a competition.
 

If you are going on this trip, we are asking for $50 from each family attending to compensate our coaches for their travel and time.  Weekly pole rentals are $25/pole. Please be prepared to transport your own poles. The best way to do this is by flying Southwest Airlines and checking them as an extra large luggage ($75 one-way has been the best price in years past, but it can fluctuate). Typically athletes can share a bag for travel and convenience. We are not asking athletes to rent a bag from us for this meet. If you need one, we are happy to let you borrow one of ours but please group up with other athletes to share the transportation cost and responsibility.

 

If you have any questions about the process of transporting your poles once in Reno, you can find helpful information at the summit's website:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/11iJcA1Dap1syB0AgrGmdpl1viIh5FW5A/view


We will also not be the chaperones for this trip. If you'd like to go, you'll need to travel with a parent/guardian. We will be available to help navigate you through the conference and we'll be available to coach you on the competition day. 

Registration for the summit can be found here. The current registration price is $170 and spots are limited. Spots will fill up. Please reach out to me at macvault1234@gmail.com if you have any questions!
