Will it be too late to join X CTY?

Question

School starts on the 11th of August (this monday) for me, along with X Country

Now I have been an eager fanatic of running, even though my past high school never had any sports. It was mainly focused on vocational classes and i guess had no money to fund sport sports.

Anyway so i moved and i discovered this school has all those good stuffs and i decided that now, going into my junior year of high school

i want to join x country and even track later... but...

i am really out of shape, i havent had a physical and worst of all i dont know if i will be allowed to join x country later on!

like will i be able to join 1 week after it starts?

well sorry for my rambling lol

Answer 1

You can join XC anytime you want, anyone can join, they don't have cuts or anything. It's okay if your out of shape, the whole point of XC is to get in shape and have fun at the same time.

Answer 2

first of all they will accept anyone for cross country, its not a major sport. Second just run and im pretty sure they also train in the beginning too. Don't worry nobody cares about cross country.

Answer 3

No, you can join, its too late to make varsity, but you need the experience  of at least training for XC

go for it
