Practice Procedures & Expectations

• Regular in-season practices are held at Cannon Hill Park. After changing, the team meets under the big oak tree in the corner of the park, closest to the school. Older students may walk to the park independently but athletes in 1st-3rd grade will meet a coach or volunteer on campus to walk over as a supervised group.

• • Unfortunately, Cataldo does not have a locker room, so runners who do not leave campus before practice are expected to quickly use the restroom closest to their classroom to change into their running gear after school so they can meet their coaches for the walk over to the park.

• We encourage all of our Cougs to be physically active and try all kinds of different activities to keep them moving-  Naturally, this extends joining Cataldo teams with friends! While we want to see every Cougar out participating in one of our fall sports, there is an expectation that participants are both able and willing to reasonably participate in the activity with the rest of the group.  Coaches do their best to provide activities that meet the needs of runners at various levels of development and allow time to progress. However, in order to ensure the safety and supervision of all our athletes; if a student is consistently struggling to remain positively engaged with the group, parents will be asked to accompany their athlete to practices to provide support.
