Little Black Practice
We are so delighted that you are interested in being part of TEAM NOVA NINJA! Each and every athlete & family is important to us and our program.
Evaluations:
· Evaluations are $65 with Coach Casey and last approximately 30 minutes. No experience is necessary in order to be evaluated. All athletes are placed on teams based on their age and skill abilities (including athletes new to ninja).
· If you participated in the prior season, no evaluation is necessary. Re-evaluations are required if an athlete missed the prior season.
Teams:
Teams are assembled to be competitive and to highlight mastered skills. Skills are developed over time through a combination of learning/mastering skills in competition and training and developing new skills within practice and other gym training times. Athletes may be moved up or down during the season based on progress.
New to the 2021-2022 season: There will be SIX teams this season to provide a smaller practice size.

Cancellation Policy
Tuition is per season and can be paid in monthly instalments or in full at the start of the season (10% discount).
Without exception, no refund will be granted for evaluation fees, uniform fees, and/or remaining season tuition fees, as all are deemed non-refundable. For season tuition fees, NoVa Ninja will accept written requests (info@novaninja.com) for a refund exception only in the following circumstances:
Season Ending Injury: An injury will be considered “season ending” when a licensed physician determines that due to an injury a player cannot participate in the remainder of the on-going season and/or the up-coming season. The physician’s determination of a season ending injury must be in writing and addressed directly to NoVa Ninja or otherwise subject to verification.
Players’ Voluntary Cancelation: If a player voluntarily cancels or withdraws from participation with Team NoVa Ninja for any reason, they are not eligible for a refund or credit and the remaining season balance will be due as scheduled on the payments dates. Voluntary cancelations would include cancelations unrelated to a season ending injury and may include all personal reasons such as moving, or other family events which may prevent the player from participating.
As a small business, we appreciate your understanding on this matter.
