Post College opportunities
Sorry for the long email but us military have to move every so often, however I do have a choice. I'm going off to be an AFROTC instructor but I am basing my decision on what type of support structure I can get as a post college mediocre vaulter. Any coaches have clubs that are connected to the following schools and willing to take on a hard working vaulter?

Dude,
Can't go wrong with UCLA. AC is the real deal. Also, Texas Tech has a real good foundation lots of good vaulters. I would be willing to bet Coach Hood would gladly let you share practice time with his guys and gals. At SWT he was always forthcoming with guest vaulters, and even coached them and use poles for free! I think that would be a great group to tap into.

Other than 400 - not much there for track - the rest all have possibilities -all depends on your schedule - commute time - etc. - I seemed to find places wherever I got transferred -

Ok so I didn't get my top 3 choices, UCLA being one of them.
Here's the stuff that is leftover:
Univ Southern Alabama
Northern Arizona
Univ Central Florida
Purdue
Univ Iowa
Worcester Poly Tech Inst.
Univ Missouria-Columbia
Clarkson Univ
St Joseph's - Philly
Wilkes Univ.
South Dakota
Norwich
VMI
I was thinking, Northern AZ which is close to Sky athletics, Purdue, Iowa, Mizzou, or WPI. Does anyone know the coaches at these schools and what the likelihood of letting a post-college athlete practice? I will be considered faculty if that helps.
any ideas would be appreciated.

Purdue just got a new head coach, but I know the vault coach there. His name is Rodney Zuyderwyk ( http://purduesports.collegesports.com/s ... ney00.html ) . He's a good guy and knows the vault pretty well. The vault facilities there are great too. ( http://www.purduepv.com/fac.php ). He can be contacted at zuyderwyk@purdue.edu
I'm a bit biased because I graduated from there, but its a great campus and has excellent academics.

Aah, somebody contact the AFROTC Det commander at Purdue and tell them I need to come to this school! Those are outstanding facilities, where were you on my original post?
Oh well, keep your fingers crossed I may get it.
