Cross Country

Cross country is a sport where girls are given the opportunity to fulfill their passion for running by completing a course over open or rough terrain. Practices are held twice a week for four sessions in total. This is in order to work on girl's individual fitness levels as well as to build a team spirit and camaraderie. PHSG competes in both the Pretoria and Johannesburg cross country leagues in order to give the girls opportunity for competition. Although the group is divided into a junior and senior team, no trials are held. Therefore, this is to allow any girl with a desire for running to compete and makes the sport open to all.
