These sessions are for athletes of all age and skill levels.

Olympic Level Clinics
One of the best things about this sport is that those at the top are accessible to those whom they inspire.
We aim to host 2 Olympic caliber clinics a year, led by Olympians or Olympic coaches. In the past we have hosted World Champion Brad Walker, Olympian April Steiner Bennett, and Olympic Medal coaches Jim Bemiller and Scott Kendricks.
Registration for the clinics will be posted on the Calendar page of the website or through the Pole Vault Carolina app.
