ST. BASIL FALL SPORTS
St. Basil the Great CYO Fall Cross Country
CYO cross country is the team sport of distance running for both boys and girls. It gives you a chance to make new friends, exercise and have fun with other children from your parish. It is open to all 1st thru 8th grade parish members from St. Basil. No prior running experience is necessary.
What are practices like?
We practice as a team 3-4 nights a week (Monday through Thursday) beginning at 5:30 PM from August through October. We encourage you to attend as many practices as possible, but we understand when you cannot attend practice due to other commitments. We begin practice with a prayer, then we warm up our muscles, stretch, run, and cool down and sometimes we even play games. We have several coaches and parent volunteers. Many of the coaches and some of the parents run with the team. Practice usually last about 75 minutes. Parents are welcome but not required to attend.
What are races like?
Races (called meets) are held in September and October. The races are held at various parks throughout the diocese. The race courses are usually a combination of trails and fields. We do not run on tracks or roads.
Everyone on the team gets to race. Nearly one thousand children from parishes throughout the diocese compete at the meets each week. The races are divided into the following groups:
• Girls Varsity (7th and 8th grade)
• Boys Varsity (7th and 8th grade)
• Boys Cadet (3rd thru 6th grade)
• Girls Cadet (3rd thru 6th grade)
• Boys and Girls Intramurals (1st and 2nd grade)
