For Club Directors
12/23/11: The $5 tryout membership is no longer available this season. One event registratants may use the $15 single event membership. Tryout Policy Overview
Remember that the IA Girl's HS Athletic Union does not allow high school players to attend a club volleyball tryout while their high school is still "in season" (competing in state regionals or the state tournament), and that individual school boards can set stricter standards. In support of IGHSAU regulations and to help protect high school athlete eligibility, the Iowa Region will not sanction club tryouts that take place while an athlete's high school is still in season.
1. A club or team may offer a player a position in their club or team at anytime. They should use the Player/ Club Commitment letter. This letter can be sent for players that are invited to a team as well as those who do tryouts.
2. Players who are invited to play on a team may sign a commitment letter at anytime. Once they sign the commitment letter they cannot attend any other club’s tryouts after signing the commitment letter. They are committed to the team the signed with for the entire season.
3. The player can not be forced to sign or commit to the club or team before the following deadlines. Clubs who extend offers must keep offered position open until the same deadlines listed below.
Offer Period for 15U and older. I understand that if I tryout for a 15U or older club team that I have until 4 PM on the Monday following the State of Iowa Girls High School Volleyball Tournament to make my final commitment to a club. For tryouts which occur after that date, I have until 4 PM on the Monday following the tryout to inform the club if I accept the offer. The club will have to hold that position available for me, once the offer is made until the above name deadlines.
Offer Period for 14U and younger. I understand that if I tryout for a 14U or younger club team that I have until 4 PM on the Monday following the first weekend in November to make my final commitment to a club. For tryouts which occur after that date, I have until 4 PM on the Monday following the tryout to inform the club if I accept the offer. The club will have to hold that position available for me, once the offer is made until the above name deadlines.
Penalties and Violations
Falsification of Letter of Commitment. If I falsify any part of this Letter of Commitment, including the date, I understand that I am subject to suspension for the entire season.
Only one (1) Letter of Commitment Permitted. A player who signs a Letter of Commitment with more than one club is subject to suspension for the entire season. I understand that if I back out of this commitment, or attend another tryout, I forfeit the right and eligibility for participation in the Iowa Region Junior Regional Championships for this season. This will also eliminate the player from attending USAV National Championships.
Coaches or club directors who violate the recruiting policy by forcing kids to verbally commit prior to the deadlines submitted by the Iowa Region will have to release all team members for that particular team. These players will then have the option to play or tryout for other teams. Furthermore the team or age division in which the violation occurred, will not be allowed to play at the Qualifying division at the end-of-the-year Iowa Regionals tournament.” 2011-2012 TRYOUT DATES
The 2011-2012 Tryout season generally begins in mid October for our Middle School/Jr. High and younger age divisions, and late October for most HS athletes, and after the HS Championships for those athletes who are participaing on State-bound varsity volleyball teams.

For Juniors
Preparations Before Tryouts
Complete the membership application process, either as a new member or renewing member.
1. Boys 11U-18U Members: This year, the full Boys membership will remain at $30 (NO REFUNDS). For guys trying out for boys teams or for coed 14U teams or younger, tryout membership options are the full $30 membership or the $5, one DAY tryout fee.
2. Girls 12u-18u Members - You can choose a full junior membership at $50 (NO REFUNDS--if you only do the tryout and don't continue with a club team; this year no refunds will be offered) or you can register for a one day TRYOUT membership at $5 for the date of the tryout (may attend multiple tryouts on the one date). These new TRYOUT memberships are NOT UPGRADABLE (if you decide to join a club team, you will then be expected to renew using the full $50 membership at that time. The cost of your full membership will NOT be reduced by the $5 tryout fee.)
3. 11 and younger girls membership: FULL membership fee is $30. The online system will automatically give this membership option to those that qualify, based on age, not level of team play. The non-refundable, non-upgradeable $5 one Day TRYOUT membership is also available.
12/23/11: The $5 tryout membership is no longer available this season. One event registratants may use the $15 single event membership.
**The $5 one Day Tryout membership can be used unlimited times. To use multiple times - register for the first date and then once that one has passed (lapsed) you will be able to go online and renew again for the next. The appropriate full membership fee will have to be paid to play with any club. (The full fee will NOT be reduced by the $5 tryout fee.)
4. NEW 8U FREE membership: USAV now offers a FREE 8U membership to those who qualify, again, based on player age, not level of team. (These players are not eligible for National events and need to choose appropriate full membership (or can be upgraded later when team is determined.)
5. SPECIAL NOTE for Sanctioned LEAGUE ONLY tryouts: Any player that will only be trying out for a Junior League Only team (no tournament play) should register for a single day $5 TRYOUT membership or the NON-REFUNDABLE, $35 junior league membership.
6. Indicate 'UNDECIDED' under Club Affiliation. When you are selected and accept you may then go back online and choose your correct club.
7. Payment can be done online by credit card (MasterCard or Visa) or send a check to the Region Office. (Payable to: Iowa Region Volleyball.) Once the payment has been received either online or in the Region Office the player will become a member with a current status. The Confirmation page or membership card should be used as verification of membership. (One Day Tryout members will show as Pending until the date they registered for. The Pending confirmation is acceptable to prove registration or a membership card can be printed on the date of event.)
8. Print the confirmation page or a membership card and take a copy to all Tryouts and give to the club you choose. You must also print and fill out the Medical Release Form (part of online registration process) and take a copy with you to all tryouts. Keep a copy with you for all tryouts and all future events.
After A Tryout
Once a full junior player is selected for a team or club, and they registered as a full member, they can go back online and indicate their club of choice. They will login, click on the My Information tab, click on the correct club name in the drop down list and finally click on the Edit Contact button at the bottom of the screen.
If they chose the $5 TRYOUT membership for their tryout, they must then RENEW to a FULL membership by using the correct full upgrade membership.
Please contact the Region Office with additional questions. |
