Cross Country
The Oakland Athletic League (OAL) Middle School Cross Country League is the most exciting middle school cross country league in Northern California’s Oakland Section! We offer programs for boys and girls aged 11 to 13 within the Oakland Unified School District and local charter schools in the area. The OAL is committed to providing quality teaching, training, and competitive experiences while promoting core values such as good sportsmanship, honesty, commitment, self-respect, and respect for others.
