Programs

This camp is for VASD students only.
The Flying V's Running Club is offered to introduce more kids to the lifelong fitness activity of distance running at an earlier age in a FUN way while providing a team atmosphere!

The Flying V’s fall running club is an extension from the Flying V’s track & field club and we are a USA Track & Field (USATF) certified club. In the fall, our focus is to prepare our athletes for Verona’s annual Pumpkin Run, as well as the USATF State Championship meets in late fall.

Many people do not become interested in distance running until they are adults and decide to start running 5K and 10K runs because it is a great way to improve and measure one’s fitness. Most students in middle school and high school choose not to participate in the sport of cross country because they have developed a sense that distance running is only for only a select few because they had limited opportunities when they were younger.

It is our goal that all members of Flying V’s Fall Running Club will:
-Develop the skills/knowledge/confidence to run long distance both now and later in life
-Have the opportunity to take part in distance running as a team- something difficult to find after high school
-Improve their fitness for the other sports they participate in
Fee provides coaching, a club t-shirt, admission to the Verona’s Pumpkin Run in mid-October. Practices are twice a week (Monday and Wednesday) to give kids the flexibility to continue to participate in their other fall sports.
*Note: In the event of adverse weather (heavy rain or thunderstorm), practice will be canceled and not made up.
