More camp and clinic information:

Here's one in Medford, NJ (easy to get to); http://www.verticaladventures.org/index.cfm looks like they have a clinic with olympic pole vaulters July 14th and 15th.

This is a really good Pole Vault training club near Bethlehem, PA. Lots of the best vaulters we see at meets train with this club. You can join the club and then attend sessions based on your experience level.
http://www.verticalassault.org/. They still have sessions as part of their spring session that runs into June. Then a series of summer sessions.

Pole Vault Clips

The following two videos show a progression of short drills focusing on the plant position and flight phase and others with the swing up phase.





The following show a pretty intense upper body and abdominal work out on a high bar. Do not attempt without a spotter and some padding.


The following shows a pretty low tech workout on playground equipment. Watch for his swing up routine on horizontal bar and rings.
