Mighty Mite 4th-6th Grade Cross Country
2020 Practice Schedule - 3:35 to 4:45
2020 Practice Schedule - 3:35 to 4:45
Come be a part of the cross country family. The boys team has been to state 17 consecutive years and girls 16 consecutive years.
All practices will meet behind the High School at Door 5 by 3:35 after school and will be done by 4:45 p.m. each day. You can pick up your child at Door 1 at 4:50 in front of the High School.
Practices will be focusing on an introduction to cross country. Each day we will do some light running, running drills, race strategies, and lots of fun running games. The junior high & high school team will be also coming over each day to do some running, demonstration, and games.
Practice will be held every Tuesday & Thursday through the first week of October and Mighty Mites will end at our home meet on Friday, October 5th! We hope to run in 2-3 meets - our home meet in Perham and possibly 1-2 others. The meets are completely optional, however we do encourage everyone to participate in the home meet on Friday, October 5th, which is the last time we will meet. We also want to encourage you to stay and watch the rest of the meet that night and cheer on the junior high and high school teams. Meet schedules will be given out at practice with event location, details, & start times. You can also find them on the links above.
We plan on being very low key in the approach with the kids. HAVING FUN and PARTICIPATION will constantly be stressed above all else. Workouts are intended to basically introduce running for longer periods of time (which very seldom get over 10-20 minutes in length at one time) stressing some of the basic fundamentals and techniques while learning to enjoy running as a life long activity. There will be treats and Gatorade/water after practice!!! We will sell a mighty mite t-shirt for $10 each day that they will receive before our home meet on Oct 5th.
Our coaches are Jeff Morris, Kay Morris, Penny Birkeland, and Kelli Stoll. They look forward to
working with the younger kids. Their enthusiasm and excitement is contagious. I hope that you
will allow your son or daughter to join us. If you have any questions feel free to call me at the
371-5992. You may also contact by email jmorris@perham.k12.mn.us.
*** We will also be inviting any 6th grade boys or girl interested to practice 2 additional days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the month of September and the 1st 2 weeks of October. We will also have 2 additional meets for these boys and girls to attend.****
