COME TO PRACTICE PREPARED

Each student is expected to come to sessions on time with:

  • running shoes in decent condition

  • clothes to exercise comfortably in (including uniform for meets)

  • appropriate layers dependent on weather and for non-running time (including warmups for meets; pants when under 60°F, for ex)

  • water bottle filled with water or electrolyte drink, marked w/ name

  • a digital wrist watch

  • snacks for before (simple carbs ideal) and after practice (carb + protein ideal)

  • phone for safety with secure ergonomic carrier (SPIbelts are available to borrow)

    Students have access to the locker rooms from the bell until the start of practice time to prepare for practice.

    If you need assistance accessing gear, let a coach know and we will help overcome any barriers to equipment so you can participate.
