Clay and Tom have been considering doing a clinic for a while, and this year they decided to actually have one. Bella Vista has an excellent all weather track and facility dedicated to pole vault (featuring collegiate-sized pits and rope swing). Among the most innovative coaches that I know, Clay has devised many, many drills to help athletes succeed in pole vaulting. This clinic is definitely worth coming to!

Just to clarify it a bit....Bella Vista HS is in Fair Oaks, CA (in Sacramento).

Clay will be talking about it at the Bronco Invitational this Saturday at BV, so if you are going to be there and are interested, come check out our set up and I'm sure that he would be happy to answer any questions that you have about it.

The money that is made by doing this clinic will go towards supporting BVPV, since we all know that our event is an expensive one to maintain.

(if any of you are in CA school districts, particularly San Juan, you really can understand what I'm saying about there not being any money)
