Practices are Monday @ 2:15 pm and Wednesday @ 3:15 pm.
Some runners will be invited to a Friday practice @ 3:15 pm. Participation in Monday and/or Wednesday's practices is a requirement to take part in the Friday session. We anticipate moving more kids into the Friday group as the season goes on.
In order to participate at the Mt. SAC meet runners will have to take part in two practices a week on a regular basis. The early season practices will run about 75 minutes but will increase to 90 minutes as the season progresses.
In order to practice student must bring a printed out hard copy of the PVIS waiver. No student will be allowed to participate without presenting the hard copy of the form. No exceptions. SEE ATTACHMENT BELOW.
Runners need to bring the following to practice: running shoes, running or soccer shorts, sun screen, a drink. If a student uses an inhaler they need to bring it.
Runners will not be allowed to run with their phones or with bottles. Students will not be allowed to run in tennis shoes, hiking boots, Vans, futsal shoes or Crocs.
We don't cut kids but if a student continues to walk in the third week of the season they will be required to run on the field at PVIS. This is for the safety of the student and their teammates.
We encourage any parent who wants to help out either as a runner or back at the school during practice to reach out to us at [email protected]
We expect students to be respectful to their coaches, teachers, school staff, teammates and opponents and meet officials. Any derogatory comments will not be permitted and repeat offenders will be subject to discipline including dismissal from the team. We expect all students to do their best in training, races and in the classroom. Failure to work hard in the classroom could result in a student not being allowed to compete in meets.
The goal of the program is to give students an instant peer group at PVIS made up of hard working, inclusive, and bright kids, a lifelong love of running and exercise and to prepare them for competing in high school.
