November at AZPVA: Winter Camp, Reno & a New Saturday Time
Thank you to every athlete and family who joined us for Fall Camp. Now we turn toward indoor season: Winter Camp is open, Reno is closer than it looks, and Saturday practice has a new start time. Here’s what’s happening at AZPVA.
Winter Camp | Tue–Wed, December 29–30, 2026
Our end-of-year camp is two full days of coaching in Queen Creek between holiday travel and the start of indoor and high school season: vaulting, video analysis, progressions, gymnastics, speed work, and more. Open to all skill levels (typically ages 12–18). The evening is outdoors with dinner, games, and a bonfire, so bring layers for the cool mornings and nights.
Commuter: $399 (camp, lunch, and dinner). Overnighter: $599 (camp, all meals, and Starkey Ranch lodging).

Current Elite and Lite members get $100 off any AZPVA camp. It isn’t applied automatically, so contact Dean at (480) 766-6017 to have it added.
Reno Pole Vault Summit | January 15–16, 2027
The Summit is the biggest pole vault gathering you’ll ever see, with nearly 20 pits under one roof. If you’re choosing one meet to travel to this winter, make it this one.
Going with AZPVA takes two signups: Summit registration on the official site, plus our $299 AZPVA coaching and pole transport signup. Then book your flights and hotel.

Saturday practice moves to 9:00 AM
Starting in November, Saturday club practice begins at 9:00 AM. Elite and Lite members, always reserve your spot in PushPress before you come, and double-check the time there, since weather and special events can shift the clock.
November schedule note: there’s no practice on Saturday, November 7 (we take one Saturday off each month) and no practice on Thursday, November 26, for Thanksgiving Day.
