High Jump, Long Jump and Pole Vault Practice (Mercer)
Every Tues & Thurs – Set Up at 5:15-5:30pm and Take Down at 7:00-7:15pm
For high jump(Tues & Thurs): Requires help for BOTH set up and take down and requires 3 parent volunteers. It would be helpful to volunteer for multiple Tuesdays in a row or multiple Tuesday and Thursdays in a row (whatever may work best for you) so that it becomes easier and faster.
For long jump(Tues & Thurs): Requires help raking the pit before each practice and requires 1 parent volunteer. It would be helpful to volunteer for multiple Tuesdays in a row or multiple Tuesday and Thursdays in a row (whatever may work best for you) so that it becomes easier and faster.
For pole vault (Thurs only): This is a physical job and therefore will require 4-5 parent volunteers. Only pole vault set-up is required (Take down is NOT required as the senior athletes practice after the JDs). Pole vault ONLY runs on Thursdays. Consider signing up for multiple Thursdays, as able, to make set up become smoother and faster.
