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 out of state at least 1 time (except 11s and 12s) and our Wild Gold 14s will have postseason training and tournament included. It is impossible to prepare for every scenario, but these are specific things we have decided to do for the 23-24 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.
- Coaches travel for posteseason for teams with postseason included. (Wild Gold 14s)
- Sports Performance package is included for all Wild old and Wild Black teams, and will be offered as an option for Wild, Metro and Cats.
- Skills sessions September and October – tentatively on Wednesdays
