Costello Sports Complex

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a series of indoor practices on Sundays at the University of Southern Maine starting on October 15th. These practices will run on Sundays 3:00-5:00 from October 15th to December 3rd. *** One caveat – if there is inclement weather October 15th we may have to move practice to 3:30-5:30 as the facility will be used by another group until then. ***

The practices will be run by retired Holy Cross/current York HS pole vault coach John Hoogasian. They are open to athletes of all ages and cost $25 per session. 

• There will be a decent set of Spirit poles available for your use. You may bring your own poles to use as well.
• There are NO SPIKES ALLOWED during these practice sessions – FLATS ONLY!
• New this year – USM is now charging for parking :-( You will need to scan the barcode on the signs in the parking lot to pay the $1.00 per hour fee.
• Please contact Coach John Hoogasian with any questions
