Our expectation is that every runner will attend EVERY practice and meet from September 3rd until the end of the season.
All team members can expect to train 5 days a week Monday-Friday, 3:15 to 5:15pm. Varsity runners will add a Sunday practice at 9am.
All athletes should meet at the AHS track at 3:15pm. Both JV and Varsity teams will warm up on the track. Together we will complete a dynamic stretching routine prior to setting out on a group run. Meets will typically be held on Tuesday. Practice will rarely, if ever, be canceled due to weather.
Every runner should be punctual to practice (3:15-5:15pm) and meets. Both JV and Varsity runners are expected to attend all meets.
You MUST email your Coach by 12PM, cc' a parent, and state the reason for your absence.
We will only accept emails with parents cc'd regarding excused absences. Emails from runners about oversleeping, forgetting about practice, getting called into work, etc. will not be entertained.
Do not use a teammate as your messenger regarding your tardiness or absence.
Please plan well in advance when scheduling after-school appointments. Try your best to avoid scheduling appointments during practice and meets. If you must schedule a doctor's appointment, please bring a note.
Athletes that are not able to participate for physical reasons must see the trainer to be treated. After seeing the Athletic Trainer you must bring a note and check in with your Coach at practice on that day.
Every runner should respect her team members, as well as the students, athletes, teachers, and community members of Arlington. Discrimination, slander, or intimidation of any kind is unacceptable. Any runner reported as having acted contrary to this policy, whether it be during practice, during school hours, or during a school event will be dismissed from the team.
If you have questions, please ask. If you have an issue let us know well ahead of time.
