Cross Country

Capital Day School strives for the holistic academic, intellectual, physical, and emotional development of its students. Cross country provides a unique opportunity for largely individual performance challenges in a team setting. The program at CDS is intended to challenge the student physically and mentally and to develop within the student physical and mental toughness, self-confidence, and leadership.

Students who participate in cross country are challenged to improve not only their endurance and athleticism, but also their ability to focus and sustain concentration. We intend to provide an opportunity for students to accomplish new tasks and to challenge themselves and each other to improve their athletic performance, regardless of skill and performance level. We try to accomplish this via conditioning and learning of new skills in a supportive and fun environment that includes student athletes, coaches, and parents.

Capital Day School offeres cross country in the fall for grades four through eight. Students must pass a physical exam before participating in any athletic activity. All interested and eligible students get playing time on athletic teams.
