All Jackson Pole Vaulters. I have made arrangements at Leading Edge Gymnastics Academy for any of you to improve your pole vaulting through some gymnastics drills between now and the end of the season. For $25.00, you can come to any organized practice that Rich or I attend on Monday and/or Wednesday evenings (7pm - 9pm) for the rest of the track season. That's not $25.00 per session...that's $25.00 (per person) for as many gymnastics sessions we can attend for the rest of the track season on those nights. Your parents will need to sign a waiver for you to participate. I have the waiver and will try to get it to you early this week so you can take it to your parents. There are drills on ropes, rings, and bars to work on that are really helpful to improving your strength and technique. Talk to Coach Rich about whether your parents are willing to let you do this and he and I will be putting our schedules together to start some gymnastics as soon as possible. Will be seeing you again soon. See below for some examples of drills we would be doing:

Wow, this is really great, I would love to attend some of these sessions, strength is necessary to perform correct pole vault technique,and that is how you make big improvements in the vault. These drills will improve strength and technique simultaneously by simulating the vaulting motion, thats why this would be especially valuable to the team.
