5. Get fitted for running shoes at a running specialty store like A Snail’s Pace Running Store.  To prevent injuries, make sure you have your stride/gait checked by a running specialty store.  This year, thanks to Mr. Follman, all newcomer athletes who sign up for summer will receive a free pair of custom-fitted running shoes from A Snail’s Pace along with insoles, a pair of running socks, a running watch, ETXC T-shirts, a personalized team bag and a water bottle during our team night on June 23rd.  A $300+ value!

Is there a Try-Out?

No, not for an incoming freshman.  Please check our website at www.eltorocc.com under CC Team Policy for additional info. For all returners, you must participate in at least 75% of the summer training (38 out of 50 practice days) or make the team at our Try Out.  For anyone who is not Frosh (all returners), you must try out and meet these marks if you missed more than 10 days of practice.

Sophomore Boys/Girls: 12:30/15:00
Junior Boys/Girls: 12:00/14:30
Senior Boys/Girls: 11:30/14:00

Schedule and location: We will meet in front of ET Gym at 7:00 am (Mon to Fri), 7:30 am (Sat). Practice locations may change as we get further into our training.  The location schedule will be sent out each week.
