About
Us:
 The
MIT Pole Vault Club was established early in 2009 to give
vaulters in the New England region a place to practice and
compete during the summer months.
With
experienced staff and great facilities,
the MIT Pole Vault Club is well suited to help vaulters of
all levels improve and strive for their goals. We welcome
all levels of experience to the club including those hoping
to learn the event (for the collegiate decathlon, introduction
of the event to their high school league, or any other reason).
Vaulters
can look forward to:
- Two new UCS
#1900 pit (large landing area for safety - 1 indoor, 1 outdoor)
- An extensive
pole inventory of over 80 poles
(although we encourage vaulters to bring their own)
- An outdoor
and indoor facility to accomodate any type of weather
- A talented
and diverse coaching staff (including
two DIII All-Americans and a world level vaulter)
- A coaching
approach based off of a deep understanding of the physical
fundamentals of the event leading to good habits, clean
technique, and safe jumps
- A desire to
help all levels of vaulters
- Lots of fun
and of course, lots of pole vaulting
Our
training combines drills, short approach, and full approach
vaulting. We also use video for self-analysis and review of
pro technique. Because speed and strength are so crucial to
the event, our staff can also assist an athlete in designing
a workout routine right for them if requested. We are located
at MIT in Cambridge, Ma across the river from Boston.
At
the MIT Pole Vault Club, we aim to create a fun and safe environment
for vaulters of all levels to learn and improve. We hope you'll
join us.
