Welcome to the CYONY "Polar Bear" Meets

The MEET ENTRY FORM is Open

Who should complete this form?

The parent/guardian of any athlete that is not part fo a team, which we call "unattached". If you are a member of a team, please contact your coach first to see if they will be registering your team for the winter season. 

Season Donation Fee:

$25 pre-pay donation that will go to both the St Augustine food pantry and the Catholic Charities Food pantries. This is a non-refundable donation. Thank you for supporting people from our immediate community

Those that elect to pay per meet, will be invoiced at the conclusion of the wnter season at $10 per meet. These fees will also go to help those in need during these challenging times.

CYO Polar Bear Youth XC meets:

What is a polar bear meet? Think XCOUNTRY season but colder. This year we’ll be running in 2 locations, Iona Prep in New Rochelle and St. Augustines in Ossining. 

Weather:

Keep in mind, we could go long stretches without running (heavy snow blankets the surfaces for weeks, Arctic air blasts, blizzards etc). However, as long as temps are above 35 and the surfaces are mostly clear...we’ll run. Flexibility and creativity.

How do I dress?:

Layers, layers, layers. Remember add 15-20 degrees to the outside temperature when dressing. Your body heats up quick. Keep your “vents” closed, head, hands, feet, and core. And yes, masks. Which most wear all winter anyway! Always start with a wick base (1st layer). Better to peal than add.

Volunteers:

Needed (though we’ve already lined up a few High school runners).

Virtual Workouts:

Begins Jan 7th. Details to follow.

Here we go. A CYO Youth Polar Bear season is here! All in for the kids.
