2017 Tryout Policy

The new Tryout Policy was implemented to reduce the stress on all involved. Parents and
players are encouraged to do your research in advance on the clubs you plan to tryout
with and narrow your decision down to 2-3 clubs.
Open Tryout Period is defined as the block of days that players may tryout with no
expectations of having to make a commitment to a team/club, nor can a team/club
require a commitment from a player. During this period, teams/clubs may extend offers
to players. An offer must be dated and in writing, via verifiable electronic (e.g. email) or
non-electronic means. Once made, those offers may not be rescinded by the club until
the end of the Open Tryout Period or until said player has communicated a decline of
offer to the club.
An offer must be dated and in writing, via verifiable electronic (e.g. email) or
non-electronic means.
If an offer is made, that players spot on the team is guaranteed only until the
end of the Open Tryout Period or until he/she formally accepts an offer from
another team/club. If the Club offers tryouts after the deadlines below these rules
do not apply. If a player does not provide response to clubs before the deadline
dates below, the club is not required to hold spot and these rules will not apply.
A player or the players parent may accept an offered position prior to the
expiration of Open Tryout Period if they choose. They may not accept prior to
opening date of tryouts. Acceptance must be in writing. If player was offered a
position by more than one club, you must notify the non accepted clubs within 12
hrs of your decision. If player is registered in USAV Webpoint as undecided, must
change your club from undecided to the club you accepted offer.

Players who decide prior to deadline below needs to notify all clubs you participated in tryouts within 12 hrs.

Clubs who extend a greater number of offers than there are open positions on a
team, and subsequently indicating that those limited number of open positions will
be filled on a first- come-first-serve basis, is not in the spirit of this rule and is
therefore a violation.
Upon conclusion of the Open Tryout Period, offers and commitments may
take place with no expectation of a grace period or requirements of rules above.
Clubs who are found to be in violation may be subject to fines and/or sanction.
