i am moving to sheffield in september, i do pole vault. is there anywhere i can continue this and even better have a coach?

Contact Don Valley Stadium - 0114 2233625, there is an athletics club who could help.

Also, try Rotherham AC, don't have a number, but know they work with pole vaulters.

Will you be at Uni? Have you asked the union about it?

Best club in the whole world: Sheffield Athletic Club (http://www.sheffieldathletics.co.uk/) (Only because I was once a member :D )

i will be at the uni from september of this year. i have already asked the union but no one had a clue. thanks for all you help. could anyone also let me know of any specialist sports shops (not JJB)

there is a large decathlon just off the end of bramall lane..... should do you for athletics

A serious Question here. :suspect:

How do you transport a pole?
Are they telescopic?
Are they in sections?
Never thought about it really

I used to bungee mine to the top of the car with a rag tied at each end.. And it stuck out a long, LONG way. Thankfully, I was never pulled up by the old bill.
