Elite Dragons
USANC Marlborough Competition Team Homepage

 The Elite Dragons are split into three levels

Emerge - Athletes new to ninja competition and are looking to train harder but maybe not run in many/any competitions yet. They will practice once a week on Monday. If competing, they would generally compete in the USANC Franchise competition league.

Elevate - Athletes that are ready to participate in competitions. They will practice twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday. Generally competing in WNL Tier 2 and a combination of UNAA and USANC Franchise league.

Elite - Our best and most mature Ninja Athletes practicing on Tuesday and Thursday. Generally competing in WNL Tier 1 and a combination of UNAA and USANC Franchise league.

Practices are on set days for the season. Tuesday and Thursday for Elevate and Elite, Monday for Emerge.

Depending on commitment level you can expect to compete 0 to 20 times per year. There is no requirement to participate in a certain number of competitions. Each family decides which competitions they would like to attend.

Local competitions generally start in October with Regional and World Championships in the early Spring and Summer. Families are responsible for competition registration and attendance costs. This includes travel to Regional and World Competitions in other states.

Similar to other competitive club sports, tryouts for the Elite Dragons team are open, but the number of accepted team members is limited. The coaches will determine which team level is appropriate for each athlete based on a combination of skill, age, experience, and maturity.
