2019 Fall Youth Cross Country Club (Grades 3-5) |
Closter Rec’s Youth Cross Country Club will introduce our young Closter athletes to the wonderful sport of track events! The program will combine technical development and fundamental techniques with a focus on having fun. Our exercises and drills will prepare athletes for a future in Tenakill Middle School and beyond in cross-country, track events, and/or distance running, while inspiring a love for running, being healthy and active.
The fundamentals of warming-up, body positioning, stride, proper stretching, hydration and cool-down techniques are all covered in the program.
Please note, this is a Cross Country program and the kids will be running miles, not yards like in our track program. Running shoes are required, and basketball and other sport sneakers are strongly discouraged.
The program will be held at Schauble Park on Bergenline Ave in Closter.

About the coaches: Brian and Alison Kenny, Hillside School parents, are both avid and passionate runners. They train year-round and have competed in marathons, half marathons, 10K and 5K races. They love the energy and spirit that the sport of running offers, but most importantly, they love that there is only one tool you need to run -- and that is YOURSELF (and a great pair of running shoes)! They're very excited to offer Closter's first-ever elementary school-aged track program, and look forward to developing Closter's next generation of runners!
