There’s more to El Toro Cross County team than logging miles and running races… Friendships are formed that will last a lifetime! Pasta Parties are one way we all get to hang out. They happen the evening prior to every meet. Depending on the home, we listen to music, play ping pong, have a pool party or play group games, but most of all we have FUN!! It’s all about bonding and getting ready for the big race!
How does a Pasta Party work?
Pasta Parties are organized by the Pasta Party Chair.
We have a ‘formula’ to make each party stress-free and a success!
Pasta Party Hosts
One of your teammates generously offers their home to host the party. They make the sauce and provide the plates and forks. The Host’s address, date and time will be sent through 2-3 days prior to the party.
Pasta Parties start between 5:00 and 6:00 pm and run until 8:00 or 9:00 pm.
Hostess home must be able to accommodate 50-100 athletes.
