All Caulfield athletes are encouraged to continue competing and training over winter by signing up to Bayside Cross Country. This is a fabulous way to stay fit especially if your children play winter sport like soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, netball or want to continue their fitness in preparation for next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season U6-17 CLAC athletes can participate in Bayside Cross Country. All participants need to be LAVic members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an extra $40 fee payable to join Bayside XC and this includes Saturday competitions and Presentation Night Pizza Dinner and Awards. If you have a friend who is interested they will need to pay the $55 LAVic joining fee on top of the $40 Bayside XC fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayside Cross Country is an amalgamation of Brighton, Caulfield, Mentone, Moorabbin, Oakleigh, Sandringham and Springvale Little Athletic centres. Athletes are covered by their Summer Season 25\/26 insurance therefore only a small fee is payable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
