Although the COVID 19 situation is currently under control, it still is a major concern worlwide. Most of the Wild Gold and Wild Black teams will travel to an out of state qualifier at least 1 time (except 10s, 11s and 12s). 12 Wild Gold and some Wild teams will participate in a tournament in Louisiana. It is impossible to prepare for every scenario, but these are specific things we have decided to do for the 24-25 season:
- There are NO refunds/credits unless the season is cancelled, so if you commit to a team, you are expected to participate. If you quit during the season, you are still liable for club fees.
- Trigger for refund/credit is USA-NTR officially cancelling the season.
- Developed budget to recognize what can be refunded/credited at anytime of the season, so every family knows what they have at risk, and there are no surprises.
- If tournaments are cancelled, we intend to continue to offer practices unless we are not allowed.
- Expenses that are refundable, non refundable and recoverable
- As payments are made, money is allocated to nonrefundable expenses, recoverable expenses and the difference is refundable
- Recoverable expenses are refundable but amount may vary pending on what the club recovers ( for cancelled tournaments and travel)
- The NTR tournament schedule will be officially published in late August-early September so team schedules will be finalized then.
- To be eligible for a refund/credit, family must be up to date with payments.
- Skills sessions September and October Tentatively on Wednesdays
Fees DO include:
- Tournament entrance fees, practices courts, coaching expenses, uniforms and equipment for all teams.
- Coaches travel expenses for REGULAR season. (airfare, transportation, meals, hotel.
- Sports Performance package is included for Wild Gold and Wild Black teams (except 10s, 11s and 12s), and will be offered as an option for Wild and Metro.
- Skills sessions September and October – tentatively on Wednesdays
