Welcome to the Homer High School Cross Country Team
First, WHAT IS CROSS COUNTRY
Cross country practices start July 28th 6pm at HHS upper practice field behind the football stadium. We’ll typically workout for 1.5 to 2 hours. Once school starts our workouts will begin after school at 4pm.
For practices wear your running shoes and shorts and shirt. Bring a water bottle or pack, a post-workout snack, and a great attitude.
If you haven’t already, parents and runners sign up for team communications using the remind app. Even if you don’t have a smartphone or don’t want to install the app, you can still sign up for email or text messages. Here is the link to sign up. https://www.remind.com/join/marinersxc
You’ll also need BOTH parent and athlete to sign up for planetHS. This is where the school district manages all the forms and permission waivers. Part of that process is to upload your physical, your old physical might still be valid and just need a copy to upload to the app. The information about PlanetHS is on the HHS Athletics website https://homerhighschool.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us/sports/
One last thing to do is sign up for the Vdot02 website where we’ll send workout plans, track your fitness, save comments about workouts, etc… There is an app to go along with the website so you can check your workouts on your phone. Sign up HERE
We’re looking forward to this season as we start the 2021 – 2022 school year. You’ve wisely chosen the most beautifully difficult and most fulfilling sport!
Thanks and we’re looking forward to see all the new and familiar faces. If you have any questions please call me at 907-980-0459
