The Joe Mis Junior Striders Summer Program runs from May to June each year and is open to current Calumet Region Strider members ages 5 to 18.
Our Track program is ONLY open to CURRENT MEMBERS. If your child is not yet a member, you can purchase the CRS Family membership online here.
Practices are held each week in Lake County. The season begins the Monday after Mother's Day. Participants can attend as many practices each week as they would like. Details on locations and times are posted on Facebook and communicated through the REMIND App. Be sure to check it regularly for any changes.
Youth runners who want to stay or get in competitive shape should be training 4-5 days a week. Coaches can offer suggestions on the type of training runners should be doing on non-practice days.
Program updates and cancellations will be announced through Remind 101 and our Facebook page. Like and follow us on Facebook here. Coaches will provide details on Remind 101 signup at the beginning of each season.
Uniforms are optional but good to have for meets and other race events. Ordering is done through coach Deanna.
All of our coaches are volunteers and do not get paid. To help keep costs down, we need parents to volunteer and help at one or more of the youth events during the season.
Runners will need to qualify for the optional opportunities provided through the AAU and USATF.
Junior Striders can participate in a variety of local events, including:
Please note that coaches are not always available at these events.
