Guidelines for a Successful Cross Country Team

 

  1. Practice is the only path to improvement; therefore attendance at practice is mandatory. If a problem arises where you cannot attend practice or a meet, you must inform me before you are absent.
  2. Jobs should not interfere with practices and meets. Give a copy of your schedule to your employer ahead of time.
  3. Do not adjust any workouts given to you by the coaches unless it is previously arranged.
  4. School rules apply during practice and the meets.
  5. If you feel sore, you have to let me know. I cannot help you unless I am informed.
  6. We are a team first, individual second. Positive, supportive attitude should always be shown towards your teammates. If there is a problem between you and another runner please make me aware of the problem so we can resolve the issue.
  7. Take pride in yourself and your team—avoid self-defeating talk. You are only as good as you want to be!!!
  8. To prevent injury proper stretching is a must. Be sure you stretch out and warm up before running and that you cool down and stretch after running.
  9. Proper grades and behavior must be maintained in school in order to be eligible to stay on the team. School work is your first priority, practices and meet are not an excuse for not doing your school work.
  10. There are curfews the nights before the races. The time is usually 11:00. This will ensure that you get the rest you need to be prepared for the race the next day—this is an important element to being the best you and the team can be!
  11. Unexcused absences from practices, missed curfews, and other problems with following the team rules will not be tolerated and will be handled in the following manner:
    1. Sprints in the parking lot
    2. Cleaning the locker rooms
    3. Extra running
    4. Suspensions from meets
    5. Expulsion from the team
  12. Think about your actions before you make them, ask yourself--“Would coach be upset if I do this”—if the answer is yes, then don’t do it. If it seems wrong, feels wrong, and is wrong—then it is wrong.

 

**These rules are not all inclusive; there will be other guidelines that need to be conveyed, and followed for the success of the team. These guidelines need to be followed also. **
