Payment of the coaching fees entitles you to:
-
Coaching in pole vault technique, strength, and conditioning at
the track and the gym. In return, the coach requires your
commitment to training 3 days a week, minimum.
-
All the correct poles for your ability, fitness level, and
weight.
-
Training plans for when the coach is not present, like gym
strength and conditioning plans.
-
Poles
for competition at the home track or away. Coaching during
competitions (*).
-
Transport of poles to competitions outside of Sydney are the
responsibility of each athlete. This will include transport and
fuel costs for the duration. If more than one athlete competes,
then costs could be shared.
-
If the coach competes as well, there is no need to pay extra
expenses. Otherwise, coaches' fuel to and from, plus
accommodation and meals, needs to be shared by the competing
athlete/s.
-
For instance fuel costs (based on 12ltr/100km @ $2.00/ltr)
between Sydney and AIS Canberra: $120.00, Melbourne $410,00
Newcastle: $80.00, Adelaide: $660.00, Brisbane: $440.00, Perth
$1870.00 Accommodation is usually between $60-$110/per night
(Caravan Pk rates)... shared by the number of vaulters competing
there. -2023 prices-
* Poles and coaching during competition are available ONLY:
-
If you trained before the competition for at least 6 consecutive
sessions. (**)
-
If your fees are up to date.
** No training means no poles and no coaching at competitions.
Sorry to insist on this. To expect poles and training for free only
leads to injury for the athlete and insolvency for the coach and the
club.
Plan your career and your commitment well. This applies to all age
groups regardless of proficiency and experience.
