CCOP / St. Raymond 

2026 CYO Cross Country Teams

What is the Team’s philosophy?

This joint cross-country program is run as part of the Catholic Youth Organization within the Oakland Diocese.  It is not limited to Catholics, nor do we attempt to convert participants to the Catholic Religion.  However, we foster a Christian environment at practices and during the meets.  All meets are started with a prayer. 

The athletic philosophy is athlete first and winning second.  This philosophy means that learning, improving and having fun are much more important than winning.  Winning isn't ignored, but it certainly isn't emphasized as the primary goal. Courtesy and Respect for the individual, teammates, competitors, coaches, and officials is expected of all (parents, coaches and competitors).

What qualifies an athlete to be a team member?

The criteria to be a member of the cross-country team are as follows:

1) Live in the Tri-ValleyOR

2) Be a member of the CCOP or St. Raymond ParishOR

3) Attend St. Raymond School or CCOP Parish CCD program (for past year)AND

4) Have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE (NO WHINING PLEASE!)

What are the different types of meets?

There are 3 different types of meets that we will participate in this season: (please see the calendar of events for dates, times and locations). 

1. Regular season meet: These meets consist of three grade divisions: boys and girls K-2^nd grades, 3^rd-5^th grades and 6^th – 8^th grades. The courses are ½ mile for K-2^nd and between 7/8ths of a mile and 1-1/4 miles for the older grades. Each race is approximately 15 minutes with the youngest girls running first, followed by the youngest boys, then advancing to the older grades.  Runners may compete in a grade division higher than they are enrolled in, but may only run one race per day. There will be one race for each grade division. For any interested younger children, there will be a tiny-tots race held at each meet. Competitors are not to participate in this event other than lending a helping hand or two. 

2. Relay meet:

This meet consists of two divisions: boys and girls made up of 5 team members between the grades of K – 8^th. This meet is to foster fun so we do not generally stack any given team, but rather evenly distribute runners across each team. If there are not enough team members to field a full team, a combination team will be formed with runners from different parishes.  These combination teams will be scored as a separate event from the team event. 

3) Diocesan Championship Meet 

For this meet, team scoring will be tracked.  Teams champion and runner up banners will be awarded to the top two parishes in the older grade divisions (3^rd - 8^th).  To compete as a team, a parish must field a minimum of three runners. Each runner must have competed in at least one regular season meet to qualify. If we can not field a full team then members will compete on an individual basis

Where are the meets, how do I get there and when do I need to be there?

A calendar of events for dates, times and locations will be available on our web site. All runners should be at the meet 30 minutes before the first grade division begins in order to warm up and stretch.  The course is closed to all spectators during the heats so please adhere to the course markers and meet officials.

Practices

The cross-country team has practices initially three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday until the season begins, at which time the meets normally occur on Friday. The practices on Mondays are held at Kottinger Park, and the practices on Wednesday at Shannon Park. Any Friday practice will also be at Kottinger Park and all practices will begin at 5:00 PM. A word of caution, this schedule and the location may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances so please accept our apologies in advance for any confusion this may cause.  All runners should bring a water bottle and sweats (or other appropriate attire) to each practice and additional stretching or ice/heat treatments at home are always recommended. Restroom facilities are always an issue, so appropriate precautions are encouraged.

Picking up children after practice.

It is our policy to not leave any athlete unattended after practice, so please make every effort or arrangement to have your child picked up promptly when practice is over. Most practices are one hour.  

Communication and do we have practices and meets if it rains?

Communication: We utilize WhatsApp for all broadcast communication and it is the primary means by which we communicate.  When you register for the team, please join the WhattsApp group for CYOCrossCountry. More information will be provides after you register.

Practices:  if it is raining at 4:00 p.m. or later on a practice day, then practice most likely will be cancelled via WhatsApp by 4:30 p.m.  Please, do not drop your child off on a rainy day unless you verify that a coach is there to conduct practice.

Meets:  in the event of inclement weather (including fire, etc.), you will be notified via WhatsApp if the meet is cancelled. If any preliminary meet is canceled due to rain or other circumstances, it will not be rescheduled. In the event the Diocesan Meet is postponed due to weather, a make up date and time will be scheduled.

What do I do if I have event scheduling conflicts with a meet or practice?

In the event of a scheduling conflict with a meet please inform one of the coaches.  It is not mandatory for your child athlete to attend every practice or meet. The only requirement that exists concerns qualification for the diocesan meet. In order to qualify for the diocesan meet, a runner must compete in one meet prior to this championship meet, and the relay meet does not count
