What happens to your pole vault pit when the season ends?

In this Gill1918 Project episode, Mike Cunningham shares the practical steps coaches can take to protect a landing system during the off-season—and avoid expensive surprises when athletes return.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Inspect and repair the pit before storage

  • Clean and dry it properly

  • Reduce moisture, UV, and rodent risk

  • Store and stack sections without creating unnecessary stress

  • Protect the pit when indoor storage is not available

A few intentional hours at the end of the season can help preserve foam, vinyl, safety, and long-term value for years to come.
