First Three Days

I can't believe it has only been 3 days so far it feels like a week.  Your young cross-country runners have been working very hard and have already discovered stoppelmann, deadman's, the brewery, and the ravine.  We have also hit the pool for a workout and the weight room twice.  We coaches have had a great time getting to know your kids these first few day.  Thanks for all of your support making sure your children are fed, hydrated, get good sleep, and of course for delivering them to practices.

Tomorrow we have two practices schedule 8:00 am a tempo run and 3:20 pm a run to the beach.  Friday is just one practice at 8:00 am and is our annual triathlon.  Your child will need to bring their bike Friday morning.  It will also be the second annual alumni triathlon, so if you know any Belle Plaine cross-country alum let them know.

Next week we start off the week with the MRC Jamboree Monday at 9:00 am at Watertown-Mayer high school.  The bus will be leaving at 7:15 am.  You are welcome to drive over and spectate if you have some time it will be a great event.

First Day

Wow!  What a great turnout for the first day of practice.  We are looking forward to seeing you back tomorrow morning at 8:00 am for the 2 mile time trial, and again at 3:20 in the afternoon for a ravine run followed by weights.  Get plenty of rest, water, and good food.

Welcome

It was great to see so many parents and kids show up for the eligibility meeting.  We are looking forward to another outstanding cross-country season.  If you haven't already filled out the Fall Eligibility Student Sign Up please do at your earliest convenience.  The link is at the right.  For those that may have missed the meeting this is the spot to find out when practices and races are, simply click on the calendar.  There is also a very informative FAQ section which may answer many of your questions.  Should you have any questions please contact me at sschroeder@belleplaine.k12.mn.us There was also some information about shoe stores handed out.

Things to Think About

As we approach the end of the summer it is important that we are reminded of dates that are important.

First, the eligibility meeting this year will be August 4th at 6:00pm in the South Gym.  Please mark it on your calendar to attend!  This is a great way for our parents to get to know the us coaches and receive consistent information about the season!  

The school is going to an online registration this year for all of our activities, so the only paperwork collected will be Physical forms.  The medical information and the MSHSL eligibility form will all be online.  

registration will go live on Tuesday, July 29th.  There will be computers available for people who need at the eligibility meeting as well as in the Career Center. 

Second, the first day of practice is on August 11th at 8:00am in the commons area.
Also please look at the FAQ for some common questions, as well as the Calender for important dates such as meet and practice times.
