Cross Country General Information for Practices During the School Fall Season

If parking inside the park a Discover Pass is required to avoid a ticket. You can purchase passes at the kiosk within the park ($10/day) or ($30/yr) online HERE. We meet at the picnic tables along the cricket field on your left as you enter the park. Drop off is ok and carpooling is encouraged.

• Ensure parents/guardians and athlete have completed all required tasks in Final Forms and are ready for the season.
• Athletes that are not cleared for practice will not be able to participate as per school and WIAA rules and will be sent home.
• Athlete Physicals must be sent to the athletic office to be entered into Final Forms. Please do not give to coaches. If an athlete does not have a current physical on file they may attend practice to hear information but may not participate in any other way.
• Attendance will be taken every practice. A minimum of 7 practices are required for a student to compete in a meet. 5 practices are required for 9/6 jamboree meet. Athletes without the minimum practices may still attend a meet but can not wear a uniform nor warm up with the team. They will be assigned a separate workout which will count as a practice.
• Email the coach 24hrs in advance if athlete will be missing practice to avoid an unexcused absence.
  
• High School Sports is a big commitment we expect athletes to make every reasonable effort to attend practices.

Things to remember for practice​:

• Athletes should have proper running shoes in good condition as evaluated by coaches.
• Have a watch for tracking time. Phones are not allowed during practice. We will have a secure place for them.
• Dress appropriately for the weather. Hot weather means running shorts, light weight cotton or synthetic shirt, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. Cool/wet weather means sweats, light rain jacket, long sleeve running shirt, warm hat, dry shirt for after the workout.
• Bring a water bottle with athlete's name on it. Water will also be provided on very hot days.
• Eat a small snack an hour before practice or bring one for after practice.
• In the event of inclement or hazardous conditions (e.g. smoke, lightning, heavy rain) the coach will send guidance as early as possible.

​XC Quick FAQ

Where are practices held? We have 3 locations: St Edward State Pk (Discover Pass required if parking), Bothell Landing and Inglemoor HS. 
How do we get to practice locations off campus? Parents can make any type of arrangement to get their athletes to and from practice.
Are buses available? Buses are available for meets only. They are not available for practices.
Can I drive/pick up my athlete(s) to and from cross country meets? In most cases coaches prefer that students ride the bus. However, parents may drive their athlete(s) to meets and pick them up after the meet but an email must be sent to the Athletic Director 24 hrs in advance. Athletes must check in with a coach upon arrival to the meet if not taking the bus. Parent/Guardians must sign out each of their athletes and athletes must check out with a coach prior to leaving a meet.
Can my student drive themselves to a meet? Parent/Guardians must request permission from the Athletic Director no less than 24hrs in advance.
