Description:
It’s always been a part of Pole Vault Elite’s mission toggle back as much as possible to the Pole Vault Community. I’ve had some amazing mentors in my life and am lucky to be surrounded by many still today. Coach John McNichols gave me an opportunity in 2004 to coach and I’d like to pay that forward. In February of 2021 as a result of COVID, Collin Gayde (Owner / head coach of pole vault elite) and his wife built a ~4500 square foot pole barn that Pole Vault Elite has been renting. As a result of this, we now have a venue we can host events such as this Coaches Clinic. We are still trying to develop an exact itinerary. It will be posted here once we have a more finalized product.
