February Pole Vault Clinics, 2022

Welcome to Shealy Athletics/Rusty Shealy Pole Vault!

Our specialty is collaborating with coaches and athletes to develop the best pole vaulters possible.  We believe in learning by doing.  Clinic athletes are taken weekly through a series of highly successful and safe learning progressions, being taught by the best coaches worldwide.  We are experts at helping athletes to jump their highest, meeting the needs of each individual.  Put the odds in your favor by learning to vault safely and correctly.  Clinics are...

• Open to all ability levels from beginner to very experienced.
• Taught correctly from the start since bad habits are ingrained and difficult to change.
• Highly encouraged for anyone interested in being the best vaulter they can be.
