Loyalty Offer Period Guidelines

The Loyalty Offer Period aims to alleviate the stress of tryouts for players who commit early, reduce costs and time spent on tryout fees, and help clubs form teams more efficiently while retaining players. Additionally, it helps minimize illegal recruiting by clubs and coaches, reducing pressure on both parents and players.

A Loyalty Offer (or binding offer) is an offer made by a club to a junior player (through the player’s parents) that, upon written acceptance, commits the player and their family to that club for the entire season. The season concludes at the end of the USAV Girls Junior National Championships.

Offer Acceptance and Decline Process:

1. All offers and acceptances must be submitted in writing via email, with a CC to offers@krva.org.
2. Players have 48 hours from the timestamp of the offer email to accept or decline the offer in writing. Once accepted, the player is bound to that club and cannot attend tryouts for any other club.
3. If a player decides not to commit early, the Loyalty Offer must be declined in writing, with the response emailed to the club and offers@krva.org in CC. Parents should communicate with the club if they intend to return in the fall, if desired.
4. Offers not accepted or declined within the 48-hour period will be automatically rescinded based on the timestamp of the original offer email.
5. Once an offer is declined, it is considered void. If the player changes their mind, parents must contact the club. The club may then choose to reissue a new offer.

Club Responsibilities:

All clubs that extend Loyalty Offers are required to submit their list of re-signed athletes to KRVA by Monday, July 14, 2025 for their offers to remain valid.
