Shakopee Community Education

Our pole vault summer camp is perfect for any beginner, intermediate or advanced pole vaulter who is looking to improve their skills over the summer. The camp will focus on the approach, plant, swing and turn of the vault with coaching from former University of Minnesota vaulter, Big 10 bronze medalist and current Shakopee Track & Field Coach, Alexis Berg. The camp will have one-on-one coaching with execution of sand, land and pit drills that will help each athlete improve their technique. Poles will be provided for each practice, but athletes are welcome to bring their own, if desired. An in-house competition will be held at the end of the three-week program where participants will have a chance to put their new skills to the test! Meets six times.

The beginner golf camp is designed for students who are interested in trying the sport of golf. We will cover the basics of the swing, putting, scorekeeping and golf etiquette. The ultimate goal is to provide a foundation that will allow players to continue working on their own and grow their appreciation of the game. A full set of clubs is not necessary, but players will need to provide at least their own driver, any iron and a putter. We will spend three days working on basics and learning drills, and the fourth day will culminate in playing a mini-round on the actual course. Meets four times.
