II. 15-week Veteran Mountain Warriors: Dates TBD: 

For Elementary age athletes (8U and 9-10) and middle school athletes (11-12 and 13-14) from private schools with no school sanctioned Cross Country season.

Focus: Training for personal improvement and to make a positive contribution to the team.  More structured training, while having fun and keeping balance of body and mind at the forefront of our plan. Committed to running the home meet on 10/4 and at least two of the other three "regular season" meets. Warriors doing the full season possess self awareness of how their attitude and effort enhance or detract from the Team mission and are committed to showing up to offer the best they have, on the day, to themselves and to the team.

The full season provides more opportunities for competition. Not all races are required but if you want to compete in State, Regional and National Championship, racing the BMW XC Invite and at least two other meets is required.

III. 13- week (total) Middle School Mountain Warriors:
Dates TBD

BVSD MS 2025 Season runs September 20th - Oct. 29th in 2025. We encourage MS Warriors to train with their school teams during the school season, but to join us August 18th for the start of the season, and do the drop-in ($5) Thursday runs which will be scheduled on Team Snap, to build the aerobic base they need for the season.

*SVVSD MS Warriors contact Melody on 303-818-8063 for pro-rated rate when your school season is completed.

Bond and set goals with your BMW Team, get fit for MS XC. Any MS Warriors wanting to go to USATF State, Regional and potentially the National meet (top 5 teams at Regionals qualify), register at the beginning of the season and attend BMW practices starting in August.

SVVSD Warriors: See you mid-late October. Please contact Melody for SVVSD MS rate.

Focus: Middle School Warriors want to be challenged by the workouts and by their team mates, to be the best version themselves they can be. They do not have to be interested in racing through the USATF Regional Championship in November, with their team. This is an option if desired and many of our MS Warriors desire it. Success breeds success.

Melody and her beloved Coaches are developing Warriors with enduring hearts for the journey of life, not only endurance athletes.
