Raider Runners

Welcome to Raider Runners!

Goal of Raider Runners 2020: We will look a little different this year but our goal remains the same: to develop competence, confidence, connection, character, caring and contribution in young boys and girls through lessons that incorporate running and other physical activities. .

The CDC offered the following considerations for players, coaches and families to stay safe. Here is what Raider Runners will do to promote behaviors that reduce the spread and maintain a healthy environment

Runners must stay home if you do not feel well. If a runner has a temperature or is not feeling well OR ANY MEMBER of the household is not feeling well then the runner cannot participate.

Equipment

• Masks – Coaches and athletes will wear a mask as much as possible. They must wear a mask to and from practice and until they get to their running pod.
• Coaches will have hand sanitizers and use them on the runners when they arrive. Athletes will not spit, and cough or sneeze into their arms away from others.
• Athletes will bring their own yoga mat and water bottle to every practice. NO OTHER EQUIPMENT ALLOWED.

Social Distance

• Only runners will be allowed in the parking lot during Raider Runners, no parents, no siblings.
• We will Identify Small Groups and Keeping them Together (Cohorting). We will place the runners in a running pod of 10. Their pod will be based on a fitness test and they will only be with runners from their grade.
• Yoga mat will also serve as a social distancing marker.
• Staggered Scheduling
  • Once teams are in place, we will stagger arrival and drop-off times and locations by pod. We will also stagger the practice, some will start with conditioning, some will start with a run, some will start with the game. Each pod will do their own warm-up and cool down.
  • We will have a girls team and a boys team. If the size of a team is larger than 30 we will have an older team and a younger team as well.
• Runners with any health issues should speak with a doctor first and please contact Alexandra Molloy with all important information.
• We will not compete against other schools or leave our local community.
