Ascent Track & Field ClinicS
LONG/TRIPLE JUMP SCHEDULE
What to expect
Spend 2 days learning from some of the best minds in the sport.
MEETING ATHLETES WHERE THEY ARE
At an Ascent Track Clinic, coaches meet athletes where they are and build from that point forward. Over the two days, they will refine technique, adjust approach length based on skill level, identify the optimal take-off foot, and guide athletes through the four key phases of the approach—start, drive, continuation, and transition. They will also cover the use of checkmarks, landing improvement, and the essential positions and movement patterns of the event. Both athletes and coaches will leave with step-by-step teaching progressions and practical cues for every phase of the event.
