To participate in cross country fill out the form here:
Information:
Practices for this year's X-Country season will begin on Tuesday September 10th at 3:30 pm and continue throughout Sept. and Oct. on Tuesdays, Thursdays (3:30-5:00pm), until the last race of the season. Please make sure to have the 5:00 pick-up pre-arranged to be respectful of coaches time.
All grades are invited to join. Students will be encouraged to improve their running abilities by challenging themselves. During long runs, walking breaks can be taken when necessary but should not be frequent and should decrease in frequency as training progresses.
Students playing Volleyball or other sports may also try out for the Cross Country Team. If they make the team, they are expected to attend practices that do not conflict with their volleyball schedule.
The team fee is $30 for grade 7 and 8 and $25 for Grade 6 students. This covers a T-shirt and registration for Divisionals and Zones (only grade 7 and 8 can attend zones). Additional races will be optional and will add to the fee cost.
Outdoor runs will occur whenever possible so please make sure your child comes to school with clothing appropriate for weather conditions and a change of clothes on wet days. Running shoes are the best choice of footwear while running.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at jesse.dobson@westwind.ab.ca
We would love to have your help too! If you are interested in helping there is a place on the form to indicate so (all volunteers will need to be registered through the office with a criminal record/vulnerable sector check from the RCMP station).
To give your child permission to participate in cross country you must fill out the risk form found above.
Thank you
