REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE

You will need a completed physical form, concussion form, blue card, and Pay to Play. Pick up a physical form from Coach Nigg so you have the form that includes the concussion form on it. Blue Cards will be given the first week of practice and will need completed by your parents. Pay to Play can be completed during enrollment by visiting Lori Smith the Bookkeeper in office A105. This must be completed prior to competition and will cover you for the school year and any sports your participate in. 

You also need to maintain good academic standing. If you are on the D and F list then you will be required to attend tutoring and communicate with your coaches and teachers what plan you have to raise your grade. If you are unable to make progress on your own, then practice time will be offered for you to receive additional help or attend tutoring or study hall. We are of the opinion that you are a student first. Being a student-athlete is a balance of your time and energy. Cross country is an extra-curricular activity and does not come before your education. 

ELIGIBILITY

Sping semester of 2021 students must pass five .5 credit classes (totalling 2.5 credits) to be eiligible for the Fall 2021 season. Tower Time and Advocacy do not count towards eligibility.

Extended learning credits DO count towards eligibility.

Fall 2021, students must be enrolled in five .5 credit classes (totalling 2.5 credits) to be eligible to compete.

COMMUNICATION is KEY! I highly recommend you sign up for this or you may miss important announcements. 

In an attempt to find the most effective way to communicate with parents and athletes, we will also be using the Remind Me app. This will message any phone that has signed up via text to our group. Instructions can also be found at the bottom of this page.

Text the number 81010 with the message @WNorthXC and you will receive a message to join our group.
