Trojan Cross Country Camp

Lehigh Valley Family
Written by Loretta Dodson, Parkland High School Cross Country Coach
As spectators, how many times have we seen teams or individuals lose games or championships because of poor conditioning? Or watched athletes win games and championships as a result of being in top condition? No matter what sport your child plays, running and conditioning play an undeniable part of their success as an athlete. The Trojan Cross Country camp is open to any kids ages 5-14 of any level. The mission of the camp is to promote running in a positive and fun environment. The camp will benefit kids who play soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, and more. We focus on basic FUNdamentals to increase personal improvement in running. While cross country camp may initially appear to benefit only runners, looking past the surface allows us to see just how important running is to all athletes. Cross county camp participants will learn: • Correct footwear • Nutrition • Basic form analysis • Strengthening • Cross training • Mental preparation • Older participants will discuss college plans and what to expect if they plan on running in college. We will focus on: • Drill Work • Core Work • Strengthening • Coordination: Running is a life long sport. Everyone from beginner to seasoned runners can see personal improvement. Running helps kids develop a good work ethic, discipline and have better overall health. The reality is not everyone can cross the finish line first, but everyone can see personal improvement.
