Coaching Corner:

Congratulations to all our XC athletes on another great season! Both teams had so many amazing moments and accomplishments. So many that we are going to have a BANQUET on Thursday November 7th to celebrate! Click the ‘events’ tab for more information. 

With fall sports coming to an end, we are going to begin focusing on the upcoming TF season. Coach Gysin will be taking over communications letting everyone know all the great things that are coming up. 

First is the off season (indoor) TF training that we offer over the winter months. Back in 2020 we felt the isolation that COVID was causing and came together as a staff to find a way that we could give everyone a chance to find something they could belong to. And BOOM we created our off season program with two key principles in mind: 

Provide a place where athletes of all abilities are welcome

Provide top notch training that will have everyone feeling ready for the spring season 

Who: All high school athletes looking to get into shape, stay in shape, train for spring sports, or just looking for a fun and motivated group to train with. It does not have to be just track/field athletes. 

What: This will be a foundational off season training program designed with running – both aerobic and speed, strength training, form work, nutrition/recovery guidance, and lots of amazing friends to train with. We do provide indoor track/field racing options as well. 

Where: Dakota Ridge High School + local parks/trail heads. We will meet outside the atrium to start practice. 

When: November 4th – January 6th 

*Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Some Saturdays 

*Off Tuesday/Fridays 

*Monday/Thursday 3:40pm to 5:00pm + 5:00pm to 6:00pm lifting 

*Tuesday 3:40pm to 5:00pm

*Saturday mornings TBD based on weather 

*Some practices over winter break

Cost: $150.00 – this money will go back to the program in hopes to help pay for a new high jump pit :)
