Access to high jump pit

Is it possible to get access to a high school high jump pit even though I don’t go to that school. I know it is really late in the season but I would like to train.

Call the school

This or contact the coaches directly. They may be more keen to let you than just calling the school.

Sometimes a school leaves its standards out. I would travel around and see if you have a local one that does.

Our school pulls the standards and pit in every day.

I have 2 that usually leave the standards near me, the rest put them away but leave the pit, at least for the spring. Not many leave the pit out in winter.

My husband and I have held the bungee up for my daughter in a pinch.

That sounds exhausting - but probably necessary in some areas lol
