Unlimited August Pole Vault Clinics 

Welcome to Shealy Athletics, Home of Rusty Shealy Pole Vault!

Our specialty is collaborating with coaches and athletes to develop the best pole vaulters possible.  We believe in learning by doing.  Clinic athletes are taken weekly through a series of highly successful and safe learning progressions, being taught by the best coaches worldwide.  We are experts at helping athletes to jump their highest, meeting the needs of each individual.  Put the odds in your favor by learning to vault safely and correctly.  Clinics are...

• Open to all ability levels from beginner to very experienced.
• Taught correctly from the start since bad habits are ingrained and difficult to change.
• Highly encouraged for anyone interested in being the best vaulter they can be.

If you have questions contact Rusty by email at Rusty@ShealyAthletics.com, or call at 803-315-5998.  To register and secure your spot, please click on the "Register Now!" link below.

About Us...

Rusty Shealy, Columbia, SC:  As Director of Rusty Shealy Pole Vault, Coach Shealy is referred to as "The Unfair Advantage".  Since 1998, he has coached 99 South Carolina High School State Champions, 11 National Champions and had 3 on "Team USA" the World Team.  He may be the only coach in the country to ever have four of his athletes acheive the rarity of jumping their age, since only a few people in the world do it each year.  One jumped 14' at 14 years of age, four have jumped 15' at 15 years old, two jumped 16' at 16 years old, and one 17' 1" at 17 years of age.  As an NCAA coach at the University of South Carolina, Rusty coached seven Southeastern Conference scorers in two seasons, with one NCAA Indoor All-American female at 13' 6.25".
