Featured athlete testimonials

“Our experience with St. Pete Pole Vault has been outstanding! Coach Tyler has been a positive influence on our son both on and off the field. Aaron has grown tremendously both in skill and confidence in the time he has been training with the group. This team has it all: competition, conditioning, and community.”

“Tyler’s practices are very technique-oriented and give vaulters a strong foundation in the basics of good technique before moving on to bigger poles. His conditioning workouts also help build strength and speed for optimal performance.”

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

History of Pole Vaulting

Pole vaulting began with ancient Greeks and Cretans who vaulted over bulls to avoid confrontation. It made its way over to Northern Europe in the mid 1800s, originally intended for vaulting over canals. The first competition where athletes vaulted for height was in Germany in the 1850s. Poles were made of bamboo, then aluminum, now fiberglass and carbon fiber. By 1896, men’s pole vaulting was added to the Olympics. Women’s pole vaulting was added to the Olympics in 2000.
