When cross country is played in the New York metro area
Cross country is a fall sport, with seasons usually running from about August to November.
New York has cold, snowy winters. Winter usually ends outdoor play from about December to March, so outdoor seasons squeeze into spring and fall, and early spring games often meet wet or frozen fields. Many programs keep players active with indoor or futsal sessions in winter.
