I have the exact same problem with my kids. I started anew program this year and did not have one experienced vaulter. We would go to meets and the kids would get so frustrated that they were getting beat by kids who would just hold high, hang on and flop over. Over spring break one of my girls went...

So we have no pit to run into beyond the box, but at my old school we had the UCS pits so you could hit the pit if you were 4 f...
