7/13 Practice Sign Up Click Here

Watauga High Cross Country

The first thing you need is a physical dated after March 1, 2019. The athletes who had physicals last year after that date are being given 2 years instead of one. You will not need to see a physician but you will need to fill out the front of the medical form with the family history and parent and student signatures.

We will begin practices Monday June 15.

Practices are going to be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 8am-9:30 and Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 5pm-6:30. You sign up for one or the other, not both. I will be putting out a new sign up for each practice.

There are going to be some new rules for phase one of the open practices.

1.  We are only allowed 25 people total. That includes coaches. Here is the link for practice sign-up:  Click here

 2.  There will be an entrance gate and exit gate. You will enter by way of concession gate and leave by way of ticket booth gate.

3. Everyone will have their temperature taken and answer several questions before each practice. Before the first practice, I must have the Initial       Screening Form Filled out. 

4. No parents, relatives, friends will be allowed to stay at practice. They may wait in the car if so desired.

5. Everyone must come ready to run. There will be no where to change. Restrooms will be open only using the restroom.

6. Everyone needs to bring their own water bottle, labeled with your name. No sharing

7. Everyone will be put in "pods" or groups for running and are expected to observe the social distancing rules.

Below is a link to the Family ID. It will allow you to fill out all of the forms online instead of having to turn in paperwork. 

If the link does not work, copy and paste in your browser.
