SPRING Season
Hello Discovery families,
Spring is here, and that means the 2026 Spring Run Club will be starting soon!
Run Club will begin April 21st and go through May 28th. All K-8 students are encouraged to join- a club the whole family can do together! The practices will be on Tuesdays & Thursdays each week at Coffee Creek Pavilion (178 E Sidewalk Road, Chesterton, IN 46304) from 4:00-5:00 p.m. Parents/guardians of K-4 do need to stay at Coffee Creek the entirety of practice. Feel free to join us on the trail, or relax at the pavilion!
Although students are not competing in races against other schools in the spring, the club will provide a team-like environment to help build cardiovascular endurance while enjoying the outdoors throughout the remainder of the school year. We do a mixture of trail running and running games for each practice. Spring season will end with the annual Discovery 5k, which will be on Saturday, May 30th. End the school year literally racing to the finish line! You do not have to participate in the 5k if you join run club, but it's a lot more fun when we run together.
No matter your ability or experience, we want you to run with us. I am looking forward to leading run club, along with other staff, cross-country coaches, and any other family members who will be there with us!

We will have two teams that will consist of 5-6 grade girls and another team made of 7-8 grade girls with 20 spots total. The keys to making either of the teams is:
Attitude: Having a positive mental attitude, the ability to focus for two hours and respect for themselves and adults.
Basic basketball skills: Dribbling, passing and shooting the ball. - If your child cannot shoot the ball over the rim, then start practicing now to increase strength and confidence in time for tryouts.
Grades: Grades are a priority and being on the team is a benefit not a right. Students with low grades will not play.
-
Between now and tryouts, please make sure your student is working hard in the classroom and improving in areas that they need help in. Grades are always the number one priority at Discovery. Athletes must have a C or higher to be eligible to play.
-
Discovery athletes are held to a higher standard of behavior and represent the school in and outside of our walls. There will be a zero tolerance for behavioral issues which can result in missing games or removal from the team.
-
Games will be coordinated closer to the start of the season. We will try to play as many games as possible. Practices will take place after school and based on the coach's schedules and will range from 2-3 nights per week. Once the season starts there may be less practice but our time will be replaced with games.
