All Time Performance Lists:
For the past several years SJVSC has researched and developed both men’s and women’s all time performers list for
the central coast high school, college, and open vaulters. It is important to note that these lists are “unofficial”, and
in fact, must be considered works in progress. SJVSC offers these lists as a way of comparison of participants past
and present. All marks on the list must be achieved in competition.
Communications:
1.
2.
SJVSC will develop and distribute a schedule of practices on a weekly basis. This schedule will be emailed
to club members, local high schools and college programs, and other interested parties in the San Luis
Obispo County area. Club practice schedule and communications may also be obtained on the front of the
club barn next to the chalk board.
TXT messaging is the current and primary method we use to communicate practice schedules and other
stuff.
Equipment:
Perhaps the most important aspect of SJVSC is its ability to provide its members with a truly unique and
comprehensive facility for pole vaulting, and pole vault related activities. Please help us continue this service by
taking care of our equipment. In this regard we need all club personnel to help cover things up, break things down
and but poles away at the end of your practice.
Practice Schedule:
Fall- Tuesday, Sunday 12 noon- 2pm
Spring- Tuesday 3:30pm, Thursday by arrangement, Sunday at 12 noon
Poles:
SJVSC has a huge supply of poles of all brands and sizes. It has been, and will continue to be the a club goal to
develop a better, more efficient, and more comprehensive supply of poles. SJVSC cannot accomplish this goal with
out the help and cooperation of its members.
Members are always welcome to use these poles at our facilities. However, SJVSC does not loan its poles to
individuals or organizations to leave the club premises. When it is in the best interest to its club members; SJVSC
will trade or barter poles of like values, for the purpose of improving its inventory position.
In addition, we strongly encourage club members and/or their schools to invest in poles so that all pole needs are
more easily covered via the trading method.
Club goals:
As an overview, these are the goals sjvsc has set for the club.
1. To have each club member vault up to his or her goals and capabilities.
2. To have all members fully understand the mechanics of pole vaulting.
3. To find a grip and pole size that best suits each club member for every jump taken.
4. To have each club member master the basic and advanced drill progressions.
