In order for your athlete to participate on the team you will need to obtain medical approval from a doctor or nurse practitioner. Approvals from chiropractors are no longer accepted.
You must register your athlete on RegisterMyAthlete before they can participate in any activities with the team. The Cabrillo Middle School Athletic Clearance Instructions explain all of the necessary steps in detail.
Practices start and end at Cabrillo Middle School on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30pm-5:00pm. Athletes will have access to the locker rooms after school to change. Mondays we will be going for long, slower runs along the promenade and on Wednesdays we do a more intense, focused workout at Cemetery Memorial Park.
Good running shoes are essential for performance and injury prevention. They do not have to be expensive, but they should be made for running. No Chuck Taylors, no basketball shoes, no skateboard shoes.
For clothing, comfortable workout attire that follows all school guidelines.
Meets will be on Friday afternoons but exact times are yet to be determined. The meets are held at schools and parks in Ventura, Oxnard, and Camarillo.Â
There is no school provided transportation.
The school will provide each athlete with a race singlet. As long as the singlet is returned at the end of the year there is no cost. Athletes are required to provide and wear black shorts for races.
