FAQ concerning Juniors who desire to tryout for multiple clubs
Due to a number of previous problems with clubs, we have addressed multiple tryouts in detail. Understand, we want the player/family to end up where they feel is best for them. All need to understand, each club will make decisions in relation to tournaments, uniforms, team size, coaches assignment, etc., before tryouts are over. When clubs are not aware of a player considering other options, it can effect a number of areas in a negative way- so we simply say- keep all clubs informed in the front end, not afterward- NO SECRETS.
* Clubs are not required to allow multiple tryouts, check with each club director before tryouts to determine their rules.
What is the
Region Rule:
Palmetto Region requires any player who desires to tryout
for multiple clubs to notify each club director via email (to include the club
name you are trying out for) prior to
attending any tryout or inquiring to another club about team placement. Failure to do so can result in the player being sanctioned
from participating in the first region tournament that her club team participates. Once
the player/family commits to a specific club, you need to
immediately (within 12 hrs) notify the
other club(s), in writing. Players and clubs are to keep emails sent and
received in case of dispute or question. On the USAV Palmetto
Registration, you should initially choose as your club "undecided". Once you
decide- go back into your record and change the club name.
Why do we have to notify the clubs of who we are trying out for:
Parents and players need to understand, clubs often must pre-register for tournaments, acquire gym space, hire coaches, order uniforms, etc. All this can be effected over one player, could be a key position needed to make a team. Failure to notify the club you plan to NOT play for can effect all these areas. This is why the region requires - KEEP all club directors informed of when and who you decide to play for, AT the time you decide- not 2 or 3 days later. Notification must be done within 12 hrs ( preferred immediately) via email at time of commitment to one club. We also require each club is aware of who you plan to tryout for ( club names). We do this because most club directors will be in contact with each other concerning teams, who is needed, positions, and we have some parents who have not notified the other club, which leaves them thinking they have a team.
If I plan to attend tryouts
with
2 or more clubs, when do I notify the clubs?
When you remit the registration to each club and/or PRIOR to attending any
tryouts. Each club director must be notified in writing, include the name
of the clubs who you plan to tryout with. You need to
choose "undecided" on the registration on the club field. Once you decide, you
can go back in and change the club to who you choose.
What if I
decide to go to another club after an initial tryout?
Again, not a problem, as long as you are still in tryouts and have not committed
to any club. YOU MUST notify each club director of this intention AT THE
TIME of your decision, NOT after you have attended the tryout. Remember to
change your USAV record club name from undecided to the club you choose.
What
if I want to consider another club (Club B) after tryouts are over with my
initial club (Club A) tryout?
If you have not committed to Club A, you may consider Club B, but must notify
both club directors immediately, not after you attended Club A's tryout.
What
is I have committed to Club A and later desire to consider Club B?
You must get a release from Club A before you contact Club B.
BOTTOM
LINE:
Players who are considering multiple clubs at ANY time in the tryout process
MUST notify each club director PRIOR to attending another clubs tryouts or prior
to calling another club to inquire about placement. You must notify the clubs
the name of the clubs you are trying out with (full discloser). Once you decide, notify all.
Go back into your USAV record and change club name from undecided to the club
you will participate with.
