Pole Vault U Camp Organization:

Coach Attig combines his knowledge of technique, psychology of learning, and the physiology of training to create an effective learning atmosphere. Athletes will learn about Coach Attig’s concept of the 3C’s of Energy in the Pole Vault (Create, Convert, Control). Without the NCAA restrictions coach will be able to offer information that he wasn’t allowed to do as a collegiate coach.

Coach Attig will have a session for both athletes and parents about the recruiting process. He can also help in setting up some more individualized off season and season training programs for the campers.

Pole vault camp activities include lectures, drill sessions, vault sessions, pole vault triathlon or pentathlon, watching videos of world class vaulters and biomechanical analysis of each camper.

Past Results:

These camps have aided in the development of vaulters from all parts of the United States and other countries such as; Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, France and Russia.
