Fuzion Profile
Fuzion Athletics is an independent and private track and field club, specializing in pole vault training for high school, college and even elite vaulters. We have a vault facility in Lexington, Kentucky, where we serve the Bluegrass region around Louisville Kentucky as well as the southern parts of Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia and Ohio. We have a history of producing great vaulters and work hard to deliver an environment that provides not only the pole vault coaching expertise but also the right atmosphere and guidance to empower athletes to grow as individuals, cultivate their sense of self-confidence, and establish the leadership skills to succeed beyond the pole vault runway.
Fuzion Athletics was founded in Minnesota in 2008 to address the State-wide needs for more specialized pole vault training. Pole vaulting is a very difficult sport requiring speed, strength and agility unlike any other activity, and as a result requires more specialized coaching and opportunities to train in a more year-around schedule, which is beyond what typical high schools, and many colleges can provide. Our founder started Fuzion Athletics with the vision to provide an independent facility where athletes of all skill levels can train in a positive environment and achieve their highest potential. The Minnesota program started with just 10 athletes and has since grown to over 200 vaulters participating in training on an annual basis.
In 2012 we established another Fuzion facility in Kentucky to address a similar deficiency of independent pole vaulting coaching expertise and training opportunities in that region. The Kentucky facility, now located in Lexington, serves the entire State of Kentucky as well as the southern parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio and surrounding states. 2017 we closed our doors in Minnesota because rising cost of operation up north in the colder elements.
Fuzion Athletics provides a number of resources for dedicated pole vaulters, including indoor and outdoor technique camps allowing for year-round training; pole rentals and sales available to the vault community via RentPole.com (a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuzion Athletics Brand and now one of the nation’s largest pole vaulting pole rental and sales organizations); and also traveling opportunities with Team Fuzion to vaulting competitions across the country that help vaulters gain experience and exposure beyond local opportunities As far back as of 2007 we started messing with designing pole bag but in 2012 we started polebags.com and now we have shipped round the world and have become the larger custom pole bag company around the world.
Our coaching staff brings a diversity of experience and a depth of knowledge to the Fuzion Athletics experience. Each coach goes through an interview process and completes a background check. They take a reflective approach to coaching and pursue all avenues of knowledge in order to create a better experience for all athletes. Some coaches choose to pursue advanced certifications. Others choose to travel the United States and learn from the most knowledgeable coaches available. Some do both. Year after year our coaches prove their worth by producing notable results at high schools, colleges, and National Meets.
