Summer Training Update

I just want to follow up with you about where we are with returning to play for sports. As of last nights board meeting we have a tentative start date of August 17th for Phase 1 opening. The athletic department has had meetings with the superintendent and they are trying to make the best decision for our student-athletes and coaches. They are also in consultation with medical personnel and at this time the response from the districts medical team is that they do not believe it is safe to return to sports for the summer recess.  We have ordered PPE supplies in preparation for when we can return to play.

We are currently waiting for approval from administration and the districts medical personnel for us to start. The athletic department has uploaded the Covid-19 questionnaire on our athletic website under "Mandatory Athletic Forms". If you are interested in participating please fill this form out and email it to montclaircrosscountry@gmail.com. This training is not mandatory and if you'd prefer your child just follow the summer training posted then that is fine. I need this form from you by August 1st the latest as I will need to make a roster of the students that will be training in summer session. 

Also, see the link on the right labelled Summer Training Protocol to see what the district guidelines for your child to participate in these practices. As we draw closer to the date I will be posting the roster of who will be allowed to attend practice as well as days and times. The link for the document is posted below, please fill it out and email it back to montclaircrosscountry@gmail.com.

Athletic Department Update

At this time we do not have a date of when we will be returning to play.  Yesterday disctrict administration met with school medical personnel and they are devising a plan to return to sports in a way that is safe for our student-athletes and coaches.  Please note that we will not be starting next week.  Once I am informed I will share the return to play plan as soon; until further notice athletes are to train on their own. Hold yourselves accountable... Take our current situation and create an advantage. These times will elevate or expose you this fall. We will be defined by the sum of many small daily choices individually and collectively as a team.
