Which type of pole vault standards are right for your facility?
The answer depends on far more than a model name or price tag. In this episode, Mike Cunningham breaks down how coaches can match their standards to the athletes, competition level, facility goals, and future plans of their program.
Topics include:
Developing programs versus high school, collegiate, and elite facilities
Minimum and maximum adjustment ranges
NFHS and NCAA peg considerations
Standard base pad compatibility
Daily usability, durability, and replacement parts
Branding and long-term facility planning
The best standards are not universally “the best.” They are the standards that best serve your athletes and facility over the next decade.
