Lincoln Youth XC Parent Information

Welcome all of our new athletes and parents to the club, as well as welcome back all of our “veterans!” As we get the season off and RUNNING!

• Registration: You must have a current USATF Card and your athlete must be age verified through USATF before they can compete 
• Practices: We have practice ever Tues/Thurs from 6:00pm-7:30pm rain or shine (or snow). If we do cancel practice, there will be an email sent out by 5pm. The announcement will also be posted on the Facebook page as well. We are usually done a bit early, and as it gets darker earlier we will try to keep practice short so that we aren’t running in the dark. Also please make sure your athlete is dressed for the weather. It’s still nice now…but we all know how ICKY Nebraska winters get. Check the weather before practice and bring extra layers.
• Meets: All meets are on Sundays. The athletes will have their uniforms, which they will get the week before the first meet. This may not be enough clothing as it gets colder. LAYERS!

Our Invite is October 5th and we will need everyone’s help to put on the meet. It’s a quick and easy afternoon. If everyone helps we are able to move around so that everyone can watch their kids run.
