The highly successful UK Junior XC program vs. USA's nonexistantJunior XC program. Why?
It's as simple as that, let's all work together to build a program for Juniors. The ultimate goal should be a Jr Nationals / party / training session. We should also have a Juniors in Florida before the Seniors around spring break every winter.
Etc, etc.
We need ideas, a plan, and everyone pointed towards the same goal.
But we need a leader...too! Someone who is really motivated and well liked, etc, etc, etc to light the flame and carry the torch. The SSA has to take a leadership role as well AT ALL LEVELS.
Most important the Jrs need to be involved heavily. They are trying hard, and great kids. So are the guys trying to help them...
