“I had zero pole vault experience and was told I was coaching it. This program walked me through everything from setting up the pit to getting kids over the bar safely. I cannot overstate how valuable this is.”
Coach Doug A.
First-Year Pole Vault Coach, Indiana
“We almost eliminated pole vault from our program due to safety concerns. Coach Reeves gave us the confidence and framework to keep it going. Highly recommend for any school.”
