• Yes! The clinic has been endorsed and encouraged by Coach Campbell from Pizitz and Coach Aiken from Liberty Park. Athletes from all schools are still welcome and encouraged to participate! Will has coached athletes from numerous metro area schools including Bumpus, Chelsea, Mountian Brook, Homewood, Altamont, and Indian Springs.

  • I consider myself a very experienced and dedicated runner. I have been coached by the best coaches in the state and hope to use that education to teach your athlete. I am a 4 year varsity cross country runner. I am also running DI cross country and track at Samford University. Lastly, I have directed my clinic for the past 4 summers. It has been very successful and I received many positive comments on it from parents and athletes.

  • We will be meeting every Wednesday and Friday from June 5th-July 31st from 8:30AM to 9:30-10AM. Locations are TBD each week and will be sent out well in advance.

  • Our two meeting locations for our 3-5 mile runs will be at Lakeshore Trail by the Homewood Soccer Park and Veterans Park near Spain Park High School. Lakeshore is a well marked and very popular 5-mile trail away from all traffic. Veterans Park is a real cross country race course for middle school, high school and Division I college athletes that is also well marked with a wooded area and away from all traffic. Your athlete will race this course in the upcoming season. On our interval days on the track, we will meet at the Spain Park, Vestavia Hills, or Homewood track.

  • Yes! We will have a time trial at the second session and the last session which will mark their improvement. All parents/guardians are invited to come watch their athletes show off their improvement! 

  • While I will be sorry to miss your athlete, I will provide the weekly training plan for your convenience and your athlete can run that specific day’s workout on their own. I understand that summer conflicts arise so my training program is designed for a few missed sessions. However, makeups can be scheduled for the two time trials if your athlete missed the scheduled date.

  • For each in-person session, your athlete needs to bring a bottle of water, reliable running shoes and a no-quit attitude. It is also recommended they have a running watch with gps or a timer.

  • Parents are always welcome to see their athlete in action. On the easy run days, it will be hard to watch as they run down the trails, but it will be easy to watch during the interval workout days and time trial days.

  • While there has never been an emergency situation, your athlete’s safety is the Jordan XC Clinic’s number 1 priority. During hot summer days, we will make sure to take extra water breaks. We reschedule practice with any threat of bad weather. It is important to let the coaches know if your athlete has asthma and where they keep their inhaler.

    For any other concerns, please contact Will directly- (205) 305-2881

  • The coaches will be always be monitoring any threats of bad weather. If it is just light rain, we will still practice as usual. If there will be bad weather, that session will be moved to another day in the week.

  • All experience levels are welcome and encouraged to participate. Training throughout the summer will be tailored to your athlete’s running ability. The Jordan XC Clinic has coached dozens of athletes with little running experience, some now running at the varsity level.

  • Refunds are not available after the first session (June 5th). We want to make sure every family feels confident before registering, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions beforehand. If your athlete misses sessions, their weekly training plan we provide ensures they stay on track.
