When is the first day of practice for college officially. What must you do, do you just show up like highschool xc practice on the first day and submit paper work? And how long throughout the season do you know if you are actually on the team. Thanks.
If you have to ask, you probably aren't on the team. That or if you aren't on some kind of online roster or something.
uhh not shit sherlock. im a senior in hs, im just trying to gauge my training schedule till then.
info on schools like wsu western and uw would be appreciated/added bonus. thanks
The coach at the school that you sign with will let you know. That's the person you'll want to ask.
2 weeks before the first official race. Do the research on when their first race is. Oh, and contact the coach first to make sure it's cool if you try to walk on.
probably around august 10-15 for the first "official" practice.
There is also still the Clearinghouse paperwork that you need to have done before participating in college, right?
The general opinion would be train your ass off, contact the coach, and try to walk on.
I did it, and ended up with a 50% scholarship the next year.
