Cross Country is the ONLY CYO sport that all ages (K-8) can participate in. Cross Country is a competitive, yet fun activity available to ALL SJA students. The season consists of five meets that are held on Saturday mornings in September and early October. These meets are very exciting and draw over 1000 total runners in the various divisions.

The Cross Country program consists of 8 divisions as follows:

Parent Helpers and Coaches

SJA Cross Country has benefited from excellent coaching in the past. However NEW coaches are welcomed and no experience is needed. Please consider signing up as a Head or Assistant Coach.

Parents - if you are unable to coach please consider signing up as a helper. This entails helping at the meets as the runners finish the races.

Physicals

CYO requires a physician's signature for each participant for each school year. A physical form is available below. For your convenience SJA will offer physical in the school. Watch the church bulletin this summer for dates and reminders.

Important things to remember

Please register to play prior to the end of the school year, if possible. Prompt registration really helps in planning for the season (coaching needs, uniforms, etc).

The CYO Athletic Contract (linked below) must be completed prior to the first match. This form requires a signature by a doctor. Please keep this in mind when you schedule well checks this summer. The SJA Athletic Board will host a sports physical night at SJA in August. Watch the bulletin for this announcement.

• Fillout the registration form, player's contract, and emergency medical contact form. Each is linked below.
• Prepare a $25 check made payable to “St. Joan of Arc”. Please do not include other sports with this payment. This registration will be non-refundable after registration payment is made to CYO.
• Put in an envelope labelled "SJA Cross Country" and drop off in the SJA School office. Deadline is May 30, 2008
