We welcome all participants to the upcoming 2024 Cross Country season.  Cross Country is a no-cut sport.  Everyone who has received a physical and is cleared by the nurse can join the team as long as athletes abide by our team's expectations.  All athletes are expected to:

• Demonstrate a commitment to the sport.
• Give their best effort at all times.
• Uphold the values of the team: respect, integrity, perseverance, and teamwork.

GETTING STARTED:  Sports Physicals (Pre-participation Packet)

- If you do not yet have a sports physical, you need to have one done and handed to the school by August 1.  You cannot give this paperwork to the coach.  The coach is not able to clear any athlete - only the school.  

- Physicals scheduled with your family physician are due no later than 8/1/24 in order to be reviewed and cleared by the school MD before 8/15/24. Schedule your physical now! Print out the physical packet and bring it with you to the appointment.

- If it has been 90 or more days since you had a physical, but less than a year, you must fill out the Interim Form.

- Contact the Health Office if you are unsure of what you need (732-833-4741).

REMINDER TO ALL PARENTS:  

Please ensure the following forms and/or requirements have been completed and submitted before your athlete's participation.

Steroid
Concussion
Cardiac

Opioid Video

Please follow the link below to the Jackson School District Athletics homepage to find the relevant forms and/or materials.

Cross Country Summer Practices!!! 

This year we will be able to start our practices over the summer.  Our summer practices will be in the morning so that we can take advantage of cooler weather.  We do not make cuts - everyone who has a physical and is cleared by the nurse can join the team.  We do require a commitment to the sport and an effort to do your best.  If you can demonstrate both, you make the team.  The following schedule will be in place as allowed by the weather! All practices will be held at Goetz Middle School.  Please sign up for Remind to be notified of any changes!

The summer Practice Schedule will be posted on Google Classroom.  The first practice is August 19, 2024, from 8:00-9:30 AM at Goetz.  We will meet on the baseball field to the right of the building as you pull in. 

*We will continue to practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout the remainder of August (weather permitting)

Please bring:

Running Shoes

Water labeled with your name

A towel (also Labeled)

Anything you bring with you must be labeled - no one will touch any items that do not belong to them.
