Parents and Players, Know Your Rights The Badger Region's Junior Club Directors developed a Tryout Policy many years ago that gives young players an opportunity to try a number of clubs and find out what their choices are before making a decision. A club or anyone associated with a club may not ask you to sign up, accept an invitation or accept an offer until 11/11 for girls and boys under 14 or 11/18 for boys 15-18. Committments made prior to 11/11 are not binding since they are a violation of region policy. Once you are given an offer, you have until the committment date to make your final decision. See the full Tryout Policy for more information. Any committments made on or after the above dates ARE binding. That is very important because once you (player or parents) make a committment, either verbally or in writing to a club, that committment is binding until the end of the season. Please do your homework. Attend information meetings, read brochures, ask questions. Full policy is shown below. If you have any questions regarding this policy, you may contact Jenny Hahn, Director of Operations, at jennyhahn@wi.rr.com or 414-443-1011. BADGER REGION VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION Junior Club Tryout Policy The following policy was developed by the Junior Advisory Committee of Badger Region and applies to all clubs operating in the Badger Region (state of Wisconsin) Rational: The purpose of the tryout period is to allow players to attend multiple tryouts and find out what their options are before needing to make a decision. 1. A club program may not hold a tryout prior to the first Saturday following the completion of the WIAA High School State Championship Tournament. A player may not be required to commit to a team prior to 6:00pm on the third (3rd) Tuesday following the completion of the WIAA High School State Championship Tournament. Clarification: At the time of an offer, a player may accept, put on hold, or decline the offer. An offer made to a player must be held for that player until the commitment date. A club may withdraw an offer that is not accepted by the commitment date. 2. An athlete may voluntarily commit to a club prior to the commitment date, but no sooner than the first day of tryouts. 3. Teams composed of players who have voluntarily committed to a club may be registered prior to the “commitment” date. However, they may not register prior to the first Saturday following the completion of the WIAA High School State Championship Tournament. Upon official team/player registration of the athlete with Badger Region by a specific club/team, the athlete must remain with that club/team for the remainder of the Junior Volleyball season. (See: Junior Player Representation, Badger Region Club Director’s Handbook, pg. 14). Definitions: Offer: An “offer” is defined as a statement made by the Club Director or designee offering a position on the roster of one of their club’s teams. Commitment: A “commitment” is a verbal acceptance of an offer by a player OR parent to the Club Director or designee. Note: A Club Program may hold additional tryouts past the final commitment date if deemed necessary by their program. 2006/07 Dates: Girls programs Boys programs 1st opportunity to tryout begins 11/11 1st opportunity to tryout begins 11/18* Commitment deadline, 11/21 @ 6:00pm;
