-
16U/17U/18U: December 1, 2024 - May 31, 2025
Clubs cannot run tryouts for an age category before the dates listed above!
To ensure that athletes are not pressured into accepting a position on a team, once an offer is made, all athletes have time to think about the offer, and to see if they receive offers from other clubs.
​​​
​
Athletes have until the following dates to decide on a club (called the Signing Dates):
-
12U/13U/14U: November 25, 2024
-
15U: December 2, 2024
-
16U/17U/18U: December 9, 2024
​​
​
Offers made before the signing dates listed above, are valid until 6:00pm on the signing date. At 6:01pm on the signing date, clubs can rescind their offer and move on to the next person on the list.
-
This means that clubs and coaches cannot make an athlete tell them if they will accept a spot on their team on the spot, unless tryouts are held after the signing dates listed above.
-
If a player signs with a club before the signing date then informing the other clubs about an offer they have given you is a common courtesy so that they can offer a spot to another athlete on their list.
​​
If an offer is made after the signing date, an athlete has a minimum of 24 hours to consider it
Clubs are only permitted to contact athletes and their families between 4:00-9:00pm on weekdays and between 8:00am-9:00pm on weekends until an athlete has accepted an offer to join the club.
-
Clubs can only offer a position on a team to someone who is registered in their tryout
-
If you accept an offer, you are committed to that club for the entire 2025 season.
