About Us
TRAINING SESSIONS
Our training sessions are run year-round and athletes of all skill levels are welcome to come jump with us. We believe that the pole vault is a progressive event and we teach it that way.
​
One of the best qualities of our training sessions is the atmosphere. It's full of energy and excitement! Kids come from miles away to learn how to be a better vaulter. Everyone on the runway is serious about the vault and lots of them have some great stories and experiences to share.
CAMPS & CLINICS
We host a couple of summer camps each year as well as clinics over spring break and Christmas break.
​
Our summer camps are held in early June and last for 3 days each. They're comprised of athletes ranging from beginners to national contenders.
​
Campers learn every drill we use to train our vaulters and video sessions help them understand what needs to be accomplished.
​
These camps are all-inclusive so there's no need to bring extra money or food. Some kids say that they come back each year because we feed them so well!
VAULT MEETS
Meets are a huge part of keeping athletes motivated and we host several of them throughout the year.
​
All of our meets are USATF sanctioned and competition groups are divided up by ability levels and not age. Every competitor gets a meet t-shirt and the top three in each division win a medal.
Morry Sanders and Steve Irwin founded Arkansas Vault Club in 1999. Johnny Ellis coaches with us now and has had a huge impact on our athletes.
Since our club's inception, we have worked with hundreds of vaulters. Many have gone on to be state champions, national champions, all-Americans, state record holders, national record holders and college athletes.
