Cross Country Information
Our practices will be up to 4 times per week. We will be at parks and the local college campus through out the week. We even have a beach practice and day! Please click on the calendar link above to see our practice schedule for the season.
 
Practice times are 6:00 - 7:15 PM evenings, 8:00 - 9:30 AM on Saturdays 
 
We have an optional Beach practice which is a day for the family, the kids will practice for about an hour and a half, then spend the day together. We do this at Carpentaria State Beach. 
Parking may cost extra, the athlete's family is welcome to attend. 
 
The athletes train in a groups based on ability to run at a specific pace for a period of time that the group is training at. Just because an athlete is in one group does not mean that we don't expect that athlete to race at a different level. The groups are mainly for our ability to keep the athletes together.

 
In most cases our coaches will try to guide your child in a direction that will be most beneficial to your child performance in the sport. This is done by feedback from your child to the coach about the child's interests.
As we get closer to the season and the schedule gets set items will be put onto the calendar. The calendar is always subject to change, but we like to keep it up to date, so it is a very good source of information about what we are planning. The calendar has a date and time stamp in the upper left hand corner, that will change if there has been an update.
 
At our parent meeting we will explain our program how it works and answer most if not all your questions about the program. It is important that you attend the meeting, it is not necessary to bring the kids to the parent meeting but if you don't have a sitter then by all means do bring them.
 
Volunteers are a must, and we would like to ask you to help out as much as you can. If your interested in coaching please contact  Jeremy Stepan via email by clicking his name. All coaches and volunteers who have direct contact with the athletes must pass a background screening check. If you are interested, there is a link for the screening in the right-hand column.
 
 
Sincerely,
