SOGO Navigators (for Teens)
(formerly called Level 3)
|
SOGO Navigators is our orienteering program for teenagers aged 12-17.
Fall 2024 We will not have formal coached programs for SOGO Navigators this fall. We strongly encourage our SOGO Navigators to attend Foothills Wanderers Wednesday orienteering events. The events run until Sept 25th. The schedule is here. Family members are very welcome too. Spring 2024 In Spring 2024, we had two streams in our SOGO Navigators program: Hawks: designed for teens 12-17 who are new to orienteering Eagles: designed for teens 12-17 who have previous experience orienteering / adventure running Athletes met once per week to build and hone their navigation abilities, technical terrain running skills, physical fitness, and have fun socializing with other teens. We train on different maps (both urban and forested) within the city. SOGO Navigator coaches have a great deal of orienteering experience and include experienced veteran and national level elite orienteers. For Spring 2024, SOGO Navigators will be meeting once per week on Wednesday evenings in conjunction with Foothills Orienteering Club's Wednesday evening events, where SOGO coaches will work closely with SOGO Navigators as they participate in the event. There will be ample coaching and the participants will run the race on their own or in groups depending on their experience level. Athletes who are particularly driven may also start to take on a leadership role at SOGO, developing new skills in organization, collaboration and leadership. If you would like more information about the SOGO Navigators program or would like to know if the program is right for your teenage athlete, please email [email protected]. |

The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.
