2019 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON INFORMATION
I am excited for my 15th year as the head cross country coach here at Cupertino Middle School. Cross Country is a NO CUT SPORT. Cross Country is one of two sports in the A block season (first of the year) which spans from 8/27/19-10/9/19. Cupertino Middle School has a long standing tradition as the most dominant and successful Cross Country program in the Cupertino After School Sports League. There are 5 competitive meets in a season (every Wednesday) that build distance from 1.2 miles to the final meet which is 2+ miles. We will practice every Monday (3pm), Tuesday and Friday (7:15am). Athletes will be given every Thursday off as a rest day. Below is all the information you will need for season.
I handed out this Welcome Letter to students that attended the Thursday informational meeting at Brunch and on the first day of practice. If you did not attend either of these, please print this out and keep it handy.

Welcome LetterOn the first practice of the season I will be handing out a Welcome Letter to all the athletes with critical information about the season. Click HERE to download a copy in case your athlete didn't get a copy.
How To RegisterAll the information you will need in order to register for Cross Country is found on this Valley Athletic League link. Scroll to the bottom where it says "Please click the enroll button to sign your child up for the Cross Country team." Please make any type of donation you can to the program because it helps to fund it moving forward and it is a really integral part of the After School Sports Program. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
Parent FormSince the team is typically so large, the most effective way to communicate with the team is via a group email. It is mandatory for parents/guardians to fill out this FORM for their athlete(s). Please take a couple minutes to do so.
