RECRUITING RULES & TIMELINES

At Wichita Ignite, we believe every parent and athlete deserves equal access to information and the opportunity to make informed decisions when choosing a club team. We encourage all families to review the HOA/USAV recruiting policies so they understand the facts and guidelines throughout the selection process. We do not guarantee team placement prior to tryouts and do not engage in prohibited recruiting activities.

Recruiting Start Date: A club/team/coach (“Recruiting Entity”) may begin open-tryouts, invite-only tryouts and/or private tryouts for the next season for all girl players starting on the second Saturday of July (“Recruiting Start Date”). A club/team/coach (“Recruiting Entity”) may begin open-tryouts, invite-only tryouts and/or private tryouts for the next season for all boy players starting on the fourth Saturday of July (“Recruiting Start Date”).

Offers: At any time after the Recruiting Start Date, a Recruiting Entity may communicate a written (electronic) offer to any player for a position on a specific team’s roster. Any offer conveyed after Recruiting Start Date must remain unconditionally available for acceptance by the player through 11:59 PM on the Friday after the Recruiting Start Date. This seven-day period shall be known as the Mandatory Open-Offer Period. At the end of the Mandatory Open-Offer Period, all unaccepted outstanding offers will expire and the Recruiting Entities may issue new offers that include an expiration date of no less than 24 hours.

Acceptance/Rejection: A player cannot accept an offer prior to 12:01 AM on the Wednesday following the Recruiting Start Date (“First Available Acceptance Date”). A player may reject an offer at any time after it is received and should do so as a courtesy to the Recruiting Entity if the player is not considering acceptance of the offer. After expiration of the Mandatory Open Offer Period, any offer must be accepted prior to any expiration date included with the Recruiting Entity’s offer. A player’s acceptance or rejection must be communicated to the Recruiting Entity in writing (or electronically).

HOA is not a party to the agreement between a player and a club. However, it is recommended that practice and tournament expectations as well as estimated costs be communicated with any offer so that the player can make a reasonably informed decision.
