For the first time, a special program for coaches, athletic directors, and school administrators will be offered. This portion of the program will be formatted to help answer questions and prepare its participants to take the National Pole Vault Certification test at www.pvscb.com

The workshop will feature a combination of lectures and demonstrations aimed at reducing school liability and improving instruction. Saturday will feature the three presentations listed below, followed by an opportunity to watch the SJVSC national staff teach the PVSCB progressions to the young vaulters in attendance. Participants will also get to watch an elite competition featuring some of the top vaulters in the USA.
On Sunday, participants have the option of taking the on-line national certification test at the Maine South computer lab (with PVSCB proctors helping), and/or participate in coaching activities with our clinic staff.

YEA BUT...................nothing gives you a better feeling than seein 2 beer swillin stout guys jumpin semi-high. Lets ya know what stickin to it will do for ya. Of couse if they had any idea how long it took to recover after that 45min session it would be another story.

Thanks to some kindness by PVJunkie, it looks like I will be attending part of this!

I am competing Saturday at Depauw (3.5 hours from Chicago). The guys jump first, so the girls will probably not get done until pretty late (7pm last week). I'm heading up after that, so I'll probably miss the elites, but I'll be around Sunday. I'll try and take some pictures.

I am looking forward to meeting some of you there. You all get a special treat too... my mysterious boyfriend Michael (Jordan9590 on here) will be in town and you can meet him too

If you see any Naperville Central kids there, tell them Coach Ash says hi.
