The Club Northwest Youth Cross Country Team is for athletes aged 5-18 who love to run and are interested in learning more about the sport of cross country, as well as more experienced runners interested in future Junior Olympic races. Practices will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30. Start times may shift later in the season when darkness becomes an issue. Practices begin September 9 and end on November 18. Please contact Deborah Fletcher directly at dfletch1970@msn.com for more information.
We at Club Northwest are committed to ensuring our youth athletes and their families stay safe from COVID-19 while continuing to have the opportunity to run. All athletes and any family members who accompany their children to practices should bring comfortable masks and wear them at all times, with the exception of when the youth are actually running. We will keep the youth physically distant to the extent possible, with the exception of allowing them to run together in small groups. In order to facilitate a safe environment, we will be limiting participation to a maximum of 25 youth team members. These COVID requirements could be relaxed after the first practice, depending on state and local requirements and the status of concerns related to COVID variants.
