Gill Athletics Perfect Plant Sliding Vault Box - 2531
Designed by Pat Manson (19’ 2-1/4”) and Scott Huffman (19’ 7”), this sliding vault box allows vaulters to perfect the run, plant, and take-off. Pole carriage, run mechanics, tempo, and step placement are more effectively learned using this training tool. The tip proof design has a built in handle for ease of portability, a zero mark molded into the side for placement accuracy and is the same size as a regulation vault box. Constructed of high impact thermoplastic for durability and a white UV protected polycarbonate for increased visibility.
