Do you have to attend every practice? 

No. While we encourage athletes to come as much as they can to improve in their fitness and skills, there is no requirement for attending practices to compete at meets. 

Do you have to compete at meets? 

No. We will always encourage athletes to compete at meets but it is not a requirement. We offer opportunities for athletes to compete at the T&F and XC club level, but also we focus on athletic development so some athletes will only be participating to improve their skills for other sports.   

Is RCTC a year round club? 

Yes. We offer opportunities for athletes to compete at the T&F club level (both outdoors and indoors), Cross Country club level, and also we focus on athletic development to improve for other sports.
