Free Pole Vault Clinic at the Armory to Introduce 2014/15 High School Training ProgramPublished by
This year we’re going to run our Tuesday and Thursday afternoon pole vault training sessions the same way as the Hudson Valley Flying Circus runs theirs. The best high school, college and elite pro vaulters all practice proper warm-up routines and execute drills that promote proper running posture and mechanics, pole drop and plant and the swing to vertical at each practice. To introduce athletes training at the Armory this season to the program, the Hudson Valley Flying Circus coaching staff is pleased to partner with the Armory to offer a FREE clinic from 3:00 to 5:00 on November 25th. Please note that this clinic will be limited to high school coaches and athletes whose schools are signed up for the regular Tuesday/Thursday sessions at the Armory. Athletes not training at the Armory are encouraged to review the Hudson Valley Flying Circus website (hvflyingcircus.com) for training options in Warwick, NY. Our staff is thrilled to help young people succeed and learn safe pole vault drills.
Pole Vault Clinic Summary: Time/Date: 3:00 - 5PM on November 25, 2014 Place: New Balance Track & Field Center Program: Introduction to our new Tuesday and Thursday training program, including warm-up; drills that promote proper running posture and mechanics, pole carry, drop, and plant; and 1, 2, 3 and 4 step approaches and swing-ups.
