Gabi Leon

Pole Vault Camp

We are so excited for year 2 of the Gabi Leon Pole Vault Camp! This camp will include many aspects to help improve vaulters of all levels from beginners to elites. Our coaches are some of the best in the state of Michigan, along with one of the best pole vaulters in American history. 

  • The objective of the camp is to create an experience catered to each athlete that allows them to learn new ideas to implement in their training and to grow confidence in their jump. Each athlete will spend multiple sessions during the camp on the runway ranging from short approach drills to help improve technique, to full approach jumps. Along with pole vaulting, the camp will include stations to help each athlete off the runway.
