Stingers Cross Country Program

For Grade Kindergarten through 6th Grade

• Teach kids to have FUN running and encourage a healthy lifestyle!
• Teach kids to improve self-discipline with running in regards to the mind body connection.
• Teach kids to encourage each other and be competitive individually.
• Teach fundamentals of running properly to reduce risk of injury.
• Foster a safe practice and respectful environment. This includes coaches and helpers providing proper supervision and children listening to the coaches and helpers. While we will do our best to handle situations, if we feel the safety of the children are at risk, we may ask a parent to accompany their child during practice until the situation has been resolved.
• This also includes treating each runner and coach/volunteer with respect. We will not tolerate unsportsmanlike conductor or negative talk to or about any team member.
• Teach kids that while running races, it is more important to race against self to improve own time and confidence, not to compete for first place.
