4. Complete a Sports Screening Form by the first day of summer practice
5. Register for XC Stats ASAP using registration code @etxctf
6. Get fitted for running shoes at a running specialty store like Road Runner Sports.  To prevent injuries, make sure you have your stride/gate checked by a running specialty store.  This year, thanks to Mr. Follman, all frosh athletes who sign up for summer will receive a free pair of custom-fitted running shoes from Road Runners Sports along with a pair of running socks during our team night on June 25th.  A $200 value! Sign up for a time slot to reserve a time for fitting.
7. Get a running watch ($10-15 on Amazon). A watch with GPS is preferred, but not required.

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 (32 out of 42 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.

Minimum standards for returning/non-Frosh athletes (2-mile course)
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 will change as we get further into our training.  The schedule will be sent out each week.
