Update

The Fleet Feet XC Clinic at Brookdale Park this evening has been cancelled due to the Heat Advisory Warning.

Clearance/ Preseason and Volunteer Opportunity

Athletes and parents, the last day to turn in paperwork for fall sports will be Thursday July 11th. Paperwork will be collected from 8am to 3:30pm at woodman field. If you are in Montclair I highly suggest coming to the captains practices on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays; we meet at woodman field at 8am on all three days. This is for all levels not just incoming freshman.


Fleet Feet and New Balance will be hosting their free Cross Country summer clinic starting tomorrow and every Wednesday in July. This is also another great opportunity for athletes to learn new things and practice on our County Championship course. Learn more here

Captains Practice

All athletes should report to Woodman field at 8am for captains practice tomorrow. We will meet on the high jump area of the football field. Make sure you bring water and Gatorade; if you have asthma make sure you bring your pump. Captains practice will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday every week until the first official day of practice on August 12th. Keep an eye on the blog, Facebook and twitter for any changes that may occur due to weather or other circumstances

Preseason

Athletes, please see the preseason tab to the right. It has the training schedule, warm up and workouts for you to do during the time leading up to the first official day of practice. The training plan begins tomorrow (July 1st) and captains practices will be held Monday, Tuesday and Thursday starting July 8th. If you are unable to make captains practice you are expected to do the prescribed workout on your own. All returning athletes are to follow the training outline, make sure to read all three pages, new athletes wait until captains practice to learn the dynamics and drills as well as hurdle mobility, the majority of the core you can find on youtube.

The fleet feet summer series will begin on July 10th, it is a great way to get introduced to our home course and the team with the most attendance wins custom team shirts. (will post more information during the week). I would like all athletes (new and veteran) to attend both captains practices and the fleet feet events.

Varsity and JV athletes, summer weight room begins July 8th and will be open Monday - Thursday 11am to 5pm, the training schedule states the days for weight room however if you are unable to make the days stipulated we can schedule otherwise. The first official day of practice will be Monday August 12th.
