We make good, safe pole vaulters. Home of the WI boys and girls all-time record holders. (Coaching references are available upon request.)

GetVertical Pole Vault (GVPV) is a USA Track and Field club that began in June 2006 with the goal of providing athletes in the greater Milwaukee, WI area an opportunity to have excellent coaching, practice and competition pole vault opportunities beyond the typical three month high school season. This vision quickly gained support from area coaches and athletes growing the group year over year. Currently, GVPV has over 100 members from southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Club members come from as far as 100 miles away to participate in regular practices. GVPV is managed and led by Jason Shimko, a former post-collegiate, collegiate and high school pole vaulter. Jason has extensive experience coaching athletes at many different levels, from beginner to Olympic trials competitors. Jason is a USATF Certified Level 2 Jumps coach, a Pole Vault Safety Certified Instructor, volunteers with the ASTM National Pole Vault Safety Board as secretary, and has assisted in SkyJumpers Pole Vaulting camps as a lead coach for over fifteen years. Additional coaching staff are a key aspect at GetVertical Pole Vault. With the assistance of more than five area high school & college coaches and a local gymnastics coach, GetVertical PV is able to provide its club members with greater expertise than any other club in the area. With at least four coaches on hand at any given time and a regular participation of around 30-35 athletes, the utmost attention and personal coaching is guaranteed. This level of personal attention and expertise is what sets GetVertical Pole Vault apart from the rest. All of the staff at GetVertical PV love pole vaulting. Everyone of us have competed in the sport in some way and love coaching. This ensures a fun, yet competitive environment focused on improving to reach personalized goals. If you have any questions feel free to contact Jason or stop in to watch any of our practices. Additionally, area pole vault coaches are encouraged to participate in any session to learn how to improve their coaching skills. Please just contact us to arrange such mentoring. All coaches on staff as part of GVPV are USA Track and Field registered coaches complete with background checks per USATF policies for youth clubs.

Practice is canceled tonight (6/24). A severe thunderstorm warning is up through late tonight, and storms + poles don’t mix — so we’re calling it. Stay dry out there and we’ll see you Monday! 💪
