WELCOME TO OUR SITE!
Apex Vaulting is a new club located in Las Vegas, Nevada. That started December 2008 with just 5 vaulters and has done nothing but grow since. We are now pushing 20 athletes! Our goal is to promote this sport and make it possible for vaulters to reach their potential. We cover mostly the North, West, and Southwest parts of town, but welcome vaulters from anywhere.

Pole vaulting combines the speed of a sprinter, upper body strength, and gymnastics like power and kinesthetic awareness, in the ultimate test of athleticism. -This club will work with all elements to develop vaulters to reach their potential.Club structure
-Simple drills are built upon to make each athletes' vaulting safe and effective. This makes progression easier and steers athletes away from frustration and/or becoming overwhelmed.
This club is designed to break down the pole vault, in steps. Starting with very simple basic vaulting technique and building on it as each drill is mastered. This structure allows athletes of all skill levels to train together.*SAFETY!! is the most important thing, nothing is more tragic then seeing a preventable accident due to careless coaching!
Golden League 2009 Zurich
New world record by the world's greatest female pole vaulter
Yelena Isinbayeva
16 feet, 7 1/4 inches(5.06M)
After a disappointing and emotional failure to defend her world title In Berlin an essence of redemption filled the stadium as the vaulting phenomena made it look easy.
Isinbayeva became very emotional after her uncharacteristic 'No Height' ,at the world championships, which cost her a usually easy win. "I love being on top," she cried in a post comp. interview; hugging friends for support. This vaulter came back with a huge performance obtaining yet another world record which she has broken over and over, a centimeter at a time, paralleled only by her male "equal" Bubka.
She has broken the world indoor and outdoor records an unbelievable 27 times!! Once again redemption is sweet and so is a new pole vault world record!
