We are excited to start preparing for this year's Cross Country season! If you enjoy running and being a part of a team please come out and join us. All races are 1 mile long.

Students must be in grades 3-5 to participate in Cross Country.

• Practice is after school until 3:30 pm. On Tuesdays and Fridays beginning Friday, August 25.
• Students will meet outside the Gym in the Lobby
• Pick up will be outside door 11, the Kindergarten entrance/car rider line
• Please have a sign with your child’s name on it hanging in the car window for dismissal.

• Running shoes
• Active Wear
• A water bottle

• Parents are responsible for registration and payment for all races will be completed online.
• Please wear a team shirt or any Oak View shirt for the races.
• Parents are responsible for transportation to each race
• The link for registering will be below the race once we have the information. Please check back frequently throughout the season 

• Students will be given two strikes before they are dismissed from the team (first strike=warning, second strike=dismissal). 
• The coaches will be the judge of whether or not a situation is worthy of a strike.
• Students will receive a ticket at the end of practice that will be given to the parent/guardian to make sure everyone is aware of what happened.

If a student goes to Y-Care after practice, students will need to take the ticket home and have it signed by the next practice. Some situations that can warrant a strike are:

1. Hitting
2. Kicking
3. Tripping
4. Pushing
5. Being disrespectful to coaches or other students
6. Not staying on task/leaving designated area
7. Not behaving during pickup

• Any questions please contact coaches Rachel Bushong or Mr. Mike Barnes
