Frequently Asked Questions

The health and safety of our families is paramount. We will be following state and county guidelines for youth activities. Outdoor practices will be held at locations that will provide plenty of space for social distancing when needed. For indoor practices, we ask that only the minimum spectators attend. Any athlete that is showing symptoms of illness, or has been around someone who has been sick, please refrain from attending any scheduled activities. We believe training is important and do not want our athletes missing out, however, we do not want to risk any further infections. 

We will also be taking the following precautions:

• Any athlete that is showing signs of ailment may be asked to leave the activity and return when they no longer have symptoms. This will be at the discretion of the NX Level Management. In order to keep all of our staff and athletes safe, we ask that all families are transparent about their childs health. If your athlete has acute conditions such as allergies or asthma, please speak with the Athletic Director at the beginning of the season.
• Mouth guards are not to be touched once in an athletes mouth. If it is touched, hand sanitizer will be available in the event hand washing is not an option.
• Frequent hand and equipment sanitizing

For team sports, each age team will consist of 7 to 10 athletes. There may be multiple teams at each age level to give all athletes ample playing time in competition. We want to ensure all of our athletes have the opportunity to receive high quality instruction and playing time. Should we have more than 12 registrants in any age group, we will form an additional team.

Practices will be 2 to 4 time a week for 1.5 to 2 hours.  These are subject to change with each season. Each Sunday will be LEVEL UP training.

In order to get the most from this program, it is imperative that athletes attend all practices. We understand situations may arise that may be unavoidable. Please make sure you communicate with your coaches and/or the director of the sport being missed .

 It may be possible to make up the practice with a paid one-on-one or small group session.

While it is highly recommended that all of our athletes participate in every sport, we recognize, some sports are not for every athlete. We encourage each of our boys and girls to at least try every sport. Participation in multiple sports increases the likelihood that an athlete will continue sports in high school and beyond. It also decreases the chance of devastating injury. 

Membership includes access to all of our programs.

No. Any athlete that wishes to play for a tournament team must be an official NX level AthletX member.

All NX Level athletes will be covered by the club insurance policy. In addition to our policy, athletes will be covered by an athletic association insurance policy as well as the insurance policy of any league we are playing in.

Parents are required to help as needed. While there will be positions such as team parent available as a more stable role; at times, we will require and appreciate your assistance. Team parents and management will communicate these needs as they arise. All families are required to sign up for a day to bring snacks.

Uniforms will vary from league and tournament team . Each sport will require certain items that must be obtained by the athletes family, for example, sport specific shoes, mouth guards or under uniform gear.

We encourage you to communicate with other families. Get to know one another, socialize, exchange numbers , find out who is closet to your neighborhood, create systems for backing each other up etc. “It takes a village” and NX Level is the village that makes sure all of our athletes are taken care of. Should the occasion arise that you will need assistance getting your athlete to and from practice or any other event, please make arrangements with another family. Please remember, when having someone else care for your athlete.

• It is the Parents responsibility to make arrangements for their athlete.
• Do not assume someone else can take your athlete
• Do not wait until last minute to make arrangements
• We encourage you to understand the sport your athlete is participating in. Read the rules for the league and/or associations we are affiliated. 

Additional expectations:

• Ensure your athlete gets to and from practices, games and events on time.
• Communicate effectively with coaches and staff

Fundraising is necessary for all athletes and parents. We recognize that fundraising can be challenging & not everyone’s favorite thing to do, but it is an absolute necessity in order to keep our costs within reason for our athletes. Families are welcome to provide a donation instead of fundraising if they are financially able to do so. We also provide incentives to families who bring a corporate or business sponsor to our organization.

Club sports come with a great deal of financial responsibility. Families are expected to pay the registration fee and monthly membership dues. In addition to those, families are also responsible for 50% of league and tournament fees. These fees are due by one week before the scheduled competition. Additional items such as sport specific footwear or mouth guards will need to be purchased by the family. Uniforms must also be purchased. All travel is family responsibility.

Athlete in need of grants may be allowed for athletes that can provide proof that they or their parents are on public assistance (TANF, SNAP, etc.). Grants are not promised. All athletes and their parents, awarded a grant are required to participate in all team fundraising and assist as needed during meets. This is absolutely necessary as we are a non-profit entity.
