May Pole Vault Clinics, 2021

SPECIAL HEALTH POLICY GUIDELINES

We need to be conscientious and cautious during this difficult time for our country and the world.  Please do your part to keep everyone as safe as possible.  We are outdoors so low risk.  Here are our guidelines to follow to keep the risk as low as possible:

1. If you have a cough or fever please stay away.  We will not hesitate to ask you to leave.

2. Practice social distancing.  Keep some distance between yourself and others. Everyone is very social so this will be difficult, but it is important.  

3. Always try to be smart if you spend time around elderly or people with weak immune systems.  Even though the risk here is lower, we do not want to take the chance of infecting any of these people. 

Thank you for your help!

Welcome to Shealy Athletics/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.
