Alumni
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.
