Transportation

Athletes and parents are responsible for timely transportation after practice and meets. Students must be picked up no later than 15 minutes after practice has ended each day. Athletes who are picked up late 3 times will be removed from the team. Please make sure that rides to and from practice and meets are scheduled ahead of time.

 

Absences

Athletes must notify the coach beforehand if they are going to miss a practice. This can be done through email. Practice is MANDATORY. Excessive unexcused absences will result in removal from the team.

 

Academic Requirements

Student athletes must be passing all classes in order to remain active on the team. One F will be a one meet suspension, 2 F’s and the student will be removed from the team. Weekly check-ins will be done every Monday.

 

Behavior Issues/Discipline Logs

All athletes on the team are representatives of not only the Cross Country Team but also of CHMS. There is a high standard of behavior that the athletes must follow. Any discipline log write ups filled out by a teacher in school or behavior issues outside of school will result in one meet suspension or removal from team dependent on the severity of the behavior.

 

Running Attire for Practice

We run in the school hallways and outside depending on the weather and events. Every day for practice athletes must bring proper attire for every type of weather including:

Tennis Shoes

Shorts and Long Pants

T-shirt and Sweatshirt

Gloves and hats if necessary

A water bottle is ESSENTIAL.

 

Remind App

Coaches use the Remind App to communicate with athletes and parents about practice changes or cancellations. Information about how to sign up will be explained at the mandatory parent meeting.
