MILWAUKEE TRAINING

Indoor Pole Vault Training

Held at NorthShore Academy of Gymnastics in Cedarburg, WI, this practice provides a unique opportunity for pole vault athletes to train for pole vaulting and develop the necessary gymnastic skills to be successful in the event.  We practice here for fall, winter, and spring sessions.

No spikes are allowed in the facility. As the practices often involve tumbling, most athletes practice barefoot or in stocking feet.

Outdoor Pole Vault Training

Held at Shorewood High School during the summer session only, these practices are traditional runway track practices focused on extending the competition season.  The focus of the practice will vary to allow athletes to improve their technique and be ready for summer competitions.
