Sweet, time to start begging my parents, then!

I have a question... According to this site there is a Vault-USA club in independence missouri... but I've never heard anything about it (that isn't far from here, like 30-45 minutes), and I cannot find ANYTHING on the web. Does that club actually exist or is that a mistake on the website? If anyone...

People actually have jobs that only pay minimum wage? Around here no one would work if that's all they got.

I really want to do it but I don't want to drive 3 1/2 hours to NH... does anybody have a guess at starting hights for HS girls?
I'm not sure if I'd be able to work out the logistics, but if the starting height is not too high I'd love the shot at a PR.
Also, when is the deadline to sign up?

How far is that from KC? And does anyone know what starting heights would be?
Sorry about havin so many questions

Okay, here's the deal. Last week was league, and I got my PR by 1'3" and 5th place... it was cool lol. But anyhow. That entire meet I made a big deal about not thinking about anything and just letting muscle memory take over. The thing is, when I do that, I do not get inverted all the way, because t...

On my birthday I hadn't taken enough ADD meds and totally couldn't concentrate. I went up to vault and like wasn't thinking at all and... forgot to actually vault pretty much. So I'm sitting on the mats thinking... "wtf was that?" and the crossbar hits me on the head. I had the biggest bump and I wa...

Thanks for all the info from everyone- my brother is excited now haha. Don't worry- by wanting him to maybe start early I'm not expecting him to be world class. He just likes to do the same things I do and he's excited about it, so I figure why make him wait? Anyhow, I'm currently looking for camps ...

Damn I hate sucking... I'm glad I have time left tho. Cause I WILL jump higher than that...
at least i hope so.

For those who started early... how'd you get a pole that short? Or well... how short do they make poles?
THanks for the info... my brother will be excited haha.

What age did you all start Pole Vaulting? What's the youngest you've heard of? What do you think is a good age to start? I'm just asking because my little brother REALLY wants to vault. I told him to take some gymnastics classes first... and he is going to this summer. But he still wants to know whe...

Thanks for the advice- and the link! Very helpful :) I just want to get back out there and do it. Our vault coach wasn't at practice today... so I haven't gotten to vault sinse I did so horribly in the meet. My head still hurts though, whoops. lol. Anyhow thanks for the encouragement and everything....
