expectations

What we expect

While our focus is to have fun and to improve fitness, we also want to make sure we are fostering a safe and positive environment. We follow the same school-wide principles and expectations for behavior from our runners.

Be respectful:

• Be supportive and positive to your teammates and all other schools

• No name-calling and bullying 

• Vulgar imagery and obscene language will not be tolerated

• Sexist, racist or homophobic remarks is cause for immediate removal from the team

Be responsible:

• Show up in running shoes and clothes (No jeans, no jean shorts, no crocs, no basketball or casual shoes)

• Practices start promptly at 3:20 and at 5:00 (2:30 - 4:00 on Wednesdays)

• Give the coaches your undivided attention

• Work hard

• Warm up and work out without walking (unless you are injured)

• Attend at least two sessions a week (a meet can count as one)

• Snacks are only eaten after you have finished your practice or race

• Keep our track and fields clean

Be safe:

• Keep your bodies to yourselves

• No phones or headphones during practice (OK only to track workouts)

Three Strikes:

Runners will get a warning if they do not meet any of the expectations. After three warnings, we will call the runner's parents to discuss the rest of their season and their future on this team.
