Thought of the Month (5/08) Wow! HS Season is over. Congratulations to all for performances and work this season. Time to get back to basics. Plan the next few months out to work on speed, strength, plants and takeoffs. That is where next years improvement originates. Hey Masters Vaulters, as daily HS coaching ends let's get back on some poles, have fun and jump high.

Anti Gravity Pole Vault Club is up and jumping in North Florida. We are USA T&F Assoc. Club #1117 in Association #14 (Florida). Our locale is a great place to jump, learn and compete. This site is setup to help with training information, local meet information and club information. Our big event each year is our Labor Day Street Vault. Come join us and you'll have fun. We also jump in other Florida and South Georgia events held in the region. If you are a North Florida vaulter of any age and have interest in being part of a club please email us at twilson@antigravitypolevaultclub.com to see about joining or helping each other out. Visit our membership application page.  

Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church, of which the Wilson's are members, has allowed us to construct our vault facility at their beautiful Lakeshore Property. If you are looking to join a church, come visit one of our five services. We are a friendly church and pole vault friendly to the max!

bulletUSA Today Article lists Pole Vaulting as #3 in 10 Hardest things to do in sports. They pick race car driving and hitting a baseball as harder. We're pretty sure the writer was a frustrated Little Leaguer and dreams of being a NASCAR driver. No offense, both are challenging at an elite level, but pole vaulting is harder and more rewarding..
