FINAL FORMS ATHLETIC CLEARANCE
Athletes must have a current physical on file to attend practice, and athletes MUST be fully cleared in FINAL FORMS in order to participate in Cross Country meets. You can find a link to FINAL FORMS via the TBMS website.
SHOES AND OTHER GEAR
Supportive, properly fitting shoes are your athlete's most important gear! Fleet Feet Roseville and Gold Country Run + Sport in Rocklin are both excellent places to find shoes. The experts there can help determine the best type of shoe for each athlete. Both stores have partnered with TBMS and will donate back 10% of your purchase to the school, so please be sure to mention Twelve Bridges Middle School!
Aside from good shoes, athletes need appropriate athletic clothing for the weather (dress in layers!), a water bottle, sunscreen, and a digital watch (optional). Uniforms will be provided for meets.
WEATHER
Yes, we will run in the rain! If there is lightning or conditions are extreme/unsafe, we will make the call by noon whether to cancel practice. If we cancel, we will send an email, post to Schoology, and make an announcement over the school intercom.
MEET SCHEDULE
The meet schedule (and rules) can be viewed HERE. Families must provide transportation for athletes to and from cross country meets. The school does not provide transportation.
COMMUNICATION
Parent/guardian email communication will take place via Final Forms. Please ensure your parent email addresses are updated in your child’s Final Forms profile.
Please email Coach Geiselman at sgeiselman@wpusd.org if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to a fun and rewarding season!
