Registration ongoing for Tiger Distance Running Camp
Cowley College cross country head coach Vince DeGrado (pictured) will
be hosting the Tiger Distance Running Camp August 6-9.
The camp is designed to educate young student-athletes about how to
become a better distance runner and leader. DeGrado and current Tiger
runners will teach campers the key elements of becoming a great distance
runner.
Attendees will also take part in team building activities to learn
what it takes to be a leader on a team, along with presentations that
the campers can take home with them to help with a successful cross
country season.
The camp will consist of morning and evening runs, classroom sessions
covering running topics, and recreation periods that include volleyball,
basketball, billiards and swimming to name a few.
In two years at Cowley, DeGrado has coached three NJCAA all-Americans,
four NJCAA Coaches Association all-Americans, 12 conference champions,
and a region champion. He is Level 2 certified in Endurance and is
currently working towards Level 3 status.
Camp tuition is $100 for day campers or $160 for overnight campers.
This includes housing, meals, running material, t-shirt and a water
bottle. For more information or to register for the camp, contact DeGrado
