Welcome to the Century PAC Meeting and Cross Country Specific Meeting:
We emphasize many life skills along the way. Scheduling, confidence building, nutritional habits etc. (Come to meet the coach)
Our lettering procedure is outlined on our website. (For more details, come to a meet the coach session)
Attendance is key: Our policy. Year 1 athletes will have flexibility in their schedule if communicating with coaches, then they will participate in all meets.
Year 2-6 athletes. Need to attend 10 practices prior to their first competition and 5 out of 6 practices within each microcycle between meets. Athletes either excused or unexcused who cannot attend regular practice have less than 10% chance of success at the meet.
Verbally telling coach of missing practices at practice will not be beneficial
Email, text, or a call is perfectly acceptable prior to the day of practice. Attendance or communication of not attending is mandatory and keeps the team safe.
Be positive in practice and use sportsmanship at all races. Cheer on teammates.
True character comes on the races (and they will happen) that did not go your way.
We expect our athletes to travel on the bus to and from meets. If necessary obtain a travel release online on the century athletic webpage
Dismissals or meets will vary, athletes are dismissed 15 min prior to the bus departure and should not leave class before.
Kellogg is 30 minute prior to bus departure and a bus will be available at Kellogg.
Other schools, there will be student dismissal but not a bus, so athletes will need to be transported to Century on days of meets.
Our new uniforms (that were asked for by the athletes) cost $50.00 each.
We are volunteering for water stops at the Med City Marathon on Sunday September 12th, 2021. Sign Up and more information to come
We have available tax deductible forms if you would like to personally help pay for these uniforms. If you are looking for a dollar sum, $50.00 would be a great start. Make any checks payable to Century High School
Preparing for meets. Pack for all weather, bring water, snacks, uniform, and pack prior to the meet. Spikes are optional. (Meet the coach session)
Online clothing store should be open shortly
We will ask for $15.00 from athletes and t-shirt sizes in the next week so that we can order a team t-shirt.
Bagel Sign up and Long run food sign up will be on the website.
Long runs will help your athlete improve.
