Cross Country
Cross-Country is a wonderful activity for kids because the sport teaches them the value of continuous self-improvement. When they train and compete, kids will set personalized goals to improve every day, and they will work toward those goals by competing against themselves. Beyond the individual benefits, cross-country is a team sport, and it is all-inclusive; no one sits the bench, because in cross country, everyone runs.
