Greetings Falcon Family,

On behalf of the L.A. Falcon parent board, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Cross Country Season. We are excited to begin another XC season with returning and new families. We are glad you are joining our Falcon family. Your child will get to engage, interact with team players / coaches, and learn the sport of running. They will enjoy and have fun during practices and meets. We encourage parents to join us duing practices as pacers in the front, middle, or backside of the athlete groups as they train. This is a plus for our parents as they also get to have fun.

The Los Angeles Falcons is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization that promotes running sports for youth in our community and surrounding areas.

We are a volunteer organization which requires your help and support to succeed as an youth program. This is why we run a family base program. Parents are engaged and involved, which helps the process of learning for every child. Parents will participate in various duties. (see volunteer contract). Perhaps the most enjoyable and impactful way is to join our parent coach staff.

We believe in the development of an athlete through progressive training and lots of “FUN.” To help you understand more about the Los Angeles Falcons program and philosophy, we concourage you to read the entire parent handbook. You may also read the condensed version of the first three pages.

“The philosophy of the Los Angeles Falcons is that every child is a winner. Our runners will learn to excel through practice, friendly competition and team support. Come join us and learn a sport that can last you a lifetime.”

Hopefully, your questions will be answered by reading the parent handbook. Any further questions reach out to us via the contact list on our website or Coach Carlos (lafalcons1990@gmail.com).    

Sincerely,

Pablo Carlos (Founder and Athletic Director)
Tony Morris (Treasurer)
