2023-2024 Flip Side Ninja Team
We’re excited and ready to defend our title for the CSNA Season 5! Please read over the information and requirements carefully. Team is a commitment for the entire season.
Tryout Information
Tryouts will be held Friday, September 1st at 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Younger ages are preferred for the earlier time, but you can sign up for either.
Divisions will be based on age as of January 1st, 2024. This means if you turn 7 before that date, you can compete. This also means you must be 18 or under for our oldest ninjas.
Minimum stage requirements for team: (We will allow exceptions on a case by case basis)
Ages 7-9 - Stage 2+
Ages 10-11 - Stage 3+
Ages 12-13 - Stage 4+
Ages 14-18 - Stage 5+
If you are unable to make it to tryouts and still want to be considered for the team, please send us an email and we’ll do our best to make accommodations.
*This season we will allow competitors that cannot attend our Friday night team classes to join and compete with the team. You must be enrolled in a class and adhere to the team requirements.
Team Information
We are competing in the Central States Ninja Association (CSNA), home-based in Missouri.
Flip Side will send a coach to attend each CSNA competition. There will be about one CSNA competition a month. Team will be for ages 7 to 18. The age you are on Jan 1st, 2024 determinants the age deviation you will compete in. (7-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-18)
Team will prioritize CSNA attendance over WNL or UNAA. We will still compete in the other leagues, but they aren’t required and may not have a coach present.
Team class will be held Friday nights from either 5:00-6:15 or 6:30-7:45 depending on their age. Unlike the Advanced class that focuses primarily on skills, Team class will be focusing primarily on competition prep and course running. We recommend attending both advanced and team classes to ensure a well-rounded training regimen.
