Welcome Vaulting Alumni! We at the AVA hope you're enjoying a "blast
from the past" with some of our historical photos and listings/photos
of national champions, as well as Teams
of the Year and Horse of
the Year award winners.
We're well on our way to building a fun and informational Alumni Members-only
section, which may be accessed only by AVA Alumni Members. This members-only
section will feature many, many more alumni photos and historical
video footage, as well as information (when known) on alumni members,
by club, so you can get in touch with your long-lost vaulting friends!
If you'd like to become an AVA Alumni Member, please go to the Join
Us page!
In addition, if you have information on the whereabouts of other former
AVA vaulters, or have historical photos/video or other legacy information
that we may briefly borrow, please tell our webmaster
the good news!
Of course, what we would really, really (did we say really?) love
is for you to start your own vaulting club, and/or to become active
in the AVA again as a volunteer. Interested? We'll tell you everything
you need to know to start your own vaulting
club or get involved in AVA through its many volunteer
opportunities.
Check out the alumni photo gallery below! Click on
