howdy
in louisiana in the winter time we have indoor track at LSU
i don't really know how to like do it b/c it is part of our scheduled track meets so all you have to do is ask your coach or an area coach
in the summer there are all kind of track teams
go online and type in stuff relating to summer track i think ammiture athletics or somthing like that might be one

Dude - you have Hipathletics up in NJ - one of the nicest 'open to all' indoor vaulting training centers on the east coast. Earl Bell helped set it up, and Tom (the owner) is a good guy. The website it Hipathletics.com - you're in more luck than most people who have to travel quite far for an indoor facility (i.e. - me last year travelling to HIP from MD and Delaware - but I decided to create my own for this year, so we'll see how that goes)

Well for outdoors theres always FiberBenders and then the camps at Slippery Rock and Kutztown in the summer - but I dont know of any in the winter. Indoor vault facilities arent easy to come by and maintaining/paying for them isnt easy either - you've gotta take what you can get.

USMC Vaulter, thanks for turning me towards hip athletics. i had never heard of it before because no one is serious about the pole vault in my school like i am and i really wana improve. i'm def going to look into it.

Check out Mike's Vertical Assault. He just got a new indoor facility last year!! I think it's near Philly.

Okay this is more helpful...an extraction from and article about one of his athletes....
She's a member of Mike Lawryk's Vertical Assault Club in Bethlehem, which transformed her from a 7-6 vaulter to an 11-footer by the end of last year.

No problem man - if you have any other questions you can always ask Mike on here (mdavis2685) - its his Dad's facility.
