Fees: $ 165 For First Child ($135 for Waltham Family) $ 55 for each additional family member.
Practices are held at 6:00 three nights per week (Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday) from mid August through late November. Participants choose which nights they want to attend, but are expected to attend to at least two practices per week and are encouraged to attend three nights per week. We plan to hold occasional Wednesday practices in Newton. Formal XC practices start on Sunday, August 20. We may invite the middle schoolers to start earlier depending site availability.
Our main practice site will be Waltham High School. Practices will also be held at various sites throughout the season including: Newton North High School, Albemarle Park, and The Cove in Newton, Charles River Walkway.
Boys and girls who are also participating on their middle school's cross country team will train with their school team until the scholastic season concludes and then they will join our program on a regular basis thereafter (though members are welcome to practice and compete with WTC on days they do not do so with their school team). However, all middle school Club members are expected to attend our Club’s practices each Sunday during the season.
