The first fitness training program for the BBCA Crusaders Basketball team will be held in June. The dates of this mini-camp are June 9 through 26, from 9 – 11 a.m., every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Each student athlete is expected to make at least three (3) of these workouts. For more information speak with Mr. Abshire. Details for the July training session will be forthcoming.

Here are some of the most common routes that we take in our practices:

Creek Run = 3 miles +/-

Chicken Run = 4 miles +/-

Cotati Run = 6 miles +/-

In an attempt to formalize this sport at BBCA I have recently set up a few policies for our team members:

• Boys in BBCA’s Jr/Sr High are welcome to practice with us regardless if they are on the cross country team.
• For those that are members of the team, practices are required.  If a practice will be missed, 24 hour notice must be given with an explanation that I find acceptable.  Short notice will be accepted only if the reason for missing the practice was also last minute. 
• Regular practices will be posted on the BBCA online calendar.  Team members are to check the calendar 1/2 hour before practice to check for last minute changes.  Any changes will be rare and will usually be caused by poor weather.

Please let me know if you have any questions – Brian Petro

Upcoming Races – Please confirm that you will be able to make these races: bpetro@bbcacrusaders.org
The Human Race is a school event so travel/supervision will be organized by the school.  For the other two events I will be organizing carpools and parents to supervise. If cost of these events is a problem, please let me know and I’ll work on some kind of fundraiser.
