Uniform and Clothing Orders

For the 2019 season, we will once again be using two different vendors for our official team uniforms and spirit wear orders.  Please see the below information regarding each, as the ordering process is a bit different.

Team Uniforms
Team Uniforms are a requirement to run in meets (races).  I have worked hard to keep our uniforms affordable and have also committed to keeping our design the same for several years, so that team members can purchase their own uniform and feel confident they can use it for multiple years.  Having said that, no team member is required to purchase their own uniform.  If you cannot afford your own uniform, one will be loaned to you and you will need to return it at the end of the season.  This means you will likely be wearing a uniform that has been worn by someone else.  If possible, I would highly encourage each athlete to try and purchase their own uniform that they can put their name in, take care of, and have as a memento of their FC XC career when they graduate.  Please note that the shorts have changed slightly this year, and I believe they are a bit nicer than last year's.

Warmups are completely optional - the pullover will look like last year's with a "FC" on the left chest, the FC "Tiger" logo on the back, along with the lettering "Creek XC".  Please note the order form doesn't show the entire design.  The warm-up bottoms are great training pants and nice to have a few pairs of.

Ordering Info:
 Click Think Link to Order
Click the following link to visit the team shop: http://bit.ly/2O77fIN
Once at the website, make sure to use the "access code" shown above (JesVzKrEw8).  You can then select your items and pay.  The items will be delivered to the school and Coach Redies will distribute.



Spirit Wear
We typically begin collecting Spirit Wear orders in August and try to place the order after the first few weeks of school, once we have solidified the roster for our team.  This gives everyone a chance to purchase the items.  Spirit Wear is handled by Coach Redies and can be paid for using cash or a check made out to "Fern Creek High School".  The following image will show you the items available.  Spirit Wear is available to athletes, parents, family members, faculty/staff, and anyone that wants to support the team!  Spirit wear is completely optional, but most kids and families like to order a few things in order to show their support at meets.

2019 Season Information

2019 Season Information
Welcome to an exciting new season of Fern Creek Cross Country!  Whether you are a returning runner or brand new to the sport, this page will hopefully give you some information regarding our team and what you can expect as we head towards the new school year and 2019 season.

Summer Practices

  • 8:30 - 10:30 at Fern Creek Park (Located behind the Elementary School and Fern Creek Track)
  • 8703 Ferndale Rd, Louisville, KY 40291
  • Although this time is early in the morning, it is necessary in order to beat the intense summer heat/humidity during this time of year.  I went running today at 10am and it was already BRUTAL, trust me on this.  Get your day started with a workout and then go nap after.


Required to Participate
  • An up-to-date physical and complete athletic forms packet.  FCHS Physical night is scheduled for July 15th.
  • A pair of quality running shoes (I can help you with this).
  • A sports watch for workouts.
  • $20 insurance fee paid to the school.

FCHS Physical Night
If you do not already have your form packet completed, attending the physical night at the school is by far the easiest and cheapest way to get it done!  Stations will be set up, allowing you to complete all portions of the required forms, including the physical, for just $30 dollars.  Notaries will also be on hand to notarize the required pages.  The FCHS Physical Night is set for July 15th at 5:30pm at the school.

Uniforms & Spirit Wear
We will be using BSN sports once again to order our team uniforms and warm-ups.  They will be essentially unchanged from last year.  Once you order a uniform, it is yours to keep and can be used for multiple seasons.  Warm-ups are completely optional, but most team members like having them.  More details will be forthcoming regarding both uniforms and spirit wear.  Our spirit wear will have new designs this year.
