Vaulting/Coaching Oportunities in Maryland/DC

Unread postby BGordo » Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:29 pm

Maryland seems to be devoid of any opportunities to vault on a regular basis outside of college and highschool.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a vault club that meets weekly or maybe an open gym/sportsplex that allows athletes to vault in the Maryland/DC area.

Also, I might be interested in work as a part-time Pole Vault coach at any local highschool within the Bethesda/Rockville area. I have 7 years experience in the sport and competed in the ACC's as a Terp. I also have some experience coaching high jump and pole vault, as I assisted Calvert Hall College for their outdoor track season. I only ask that in return I have full use of the vaulting facilities.

Any suggetions would be welcome, my end goal is to get enough practice in that I can compete at various open meets and beach vaults.

The Prince Georges Sports and Learning Complex has a few opportunies to jump. See the following post:

Currently, there are not any PV clubs in the DC area that I know of.
As far as coaching, Langley HS in McLean, VA was looking for a jump coach. I am not sure if the position is filled. The school is just across the American Legion Bridge.
