Coaches Contract

These are the things each athlete can count on from the coaching staff:

• We will work with each runner who makes a commitment to the program, regardless of their ability.
• We will provide a progression of training which takes into account each runners age, previous experience in running, history of injuries and/or illness, and current goals.
• The style of coaching will involve positive coaching techniques, looking to assist each runner in their development of the knowledge and love of the sport of running.
• There will be a consistent manner in the way we deal with all our athletes based on the high expectations we have set up in the runners' contract.
• To allow for proper planning, information will be provided about the season in a parent/athlete meeting, and weekly information will also be provided to the athletes on Monday's.
• Safety of our runners is a priority in everything we do; from the planning of a location of a practice, to guidance about proper eating and hydrating for the demands of our sport.
• It is a high priority that we help create an atmosphere of team support throughout the season. This gives our athletes the assistance they need to get through the hard parts of the season, along with creating potentially life-long friendships through the shared experience.
• We are a group of people who are committed to sharing our own love for the sports of running, and helping kids learn all the terrific life lessons available through running.
