Once this offer is signed and fully executed by all parties all other clubs are obligated to respect my signing and shall cease to contact me. I shall notify any club coach, club representative or club director who contacts my family or me that I have officially joined the above-mentioned club. Signatures by the player, guardian and club director of this letter of intent and payment of initial installment signifies commitment to the CLUB for one season. It is unethical to attend another club’s tryout or discuss other opportunities once you have fully executed this agreement.

Club contracts may accompany or follow this form; club contracts are not administered nor the responsibility of the ERVA. Club Contracts may require a minimum deposit, future payment schedule, financial commitments, player expectations and define potential release from contract procedures. The club contract is between the player/parents/guardians and the club. Please read thoroughly and understand the contract and commitment you are making on behalf of your daughter to the club.

Prior to the Tryout/Offer Start Date, a club (all representatives for a club) is prohibited from presenting/accepting any written offer, and/or accepting any payment for any club dues associated with USAV membership for the upcoming season.

Tryout/Offer Date – first date that any official written offer to play in the upcoming USA Volleyball membership season may be offered to players

Acknowledgement Date - Once an official offer has been made to the player, the club must leave the offer on the table (the club may not rescind an offer) for 72 hours following the Offer Date and Time listed. The player may accept the written agreement before the 72-hour period has expired if they so choose. The purpose for the Acceptance Window is to allow players to leave the club’s gym without the pressure of losing their offer.
