It’s important to understand the implications of accepting an Offer with a club in the Keystone Region. Here are some key points to consider:
Binding Agreement: Accepting an offer from a club creates a binding agreement between the family and the club. This agreement is not with the Keystone Region but specifically with the club itself. Offers that are valid and binding are written offers emailed to the family of the player with offers@krva.org CC’d on the email, and they must be sent during the correct dates and times.
Non-Transferable: The offer is typically not specific to a particular coach within the club but rather for participation within that club and team.
Commitment: Once accepted, the family is committed to the club for the duration of the season, and players cannot try out for or play for another club during that time.
Release: If a family wishes to leave the club before the end of the season, they must obtain a release from the club. This release is at the discretion of the club and is not guaranteed.
Seasonal Limitations: Even if a player is released from a club, if they have already participated in a USAV Qualifier with the original club, they cannot play for a new club during the current season.
Acceptance Deadlines: Players/Families have 48 hours from the timestamp on the offer email to accept or decline the offer in writing. Players/Families are encouraged to let clubs know of your intentions as soon as the decision has been made – you do NOT need to wait until the deadline to accept or decline an offer.
No Immediate Obligation: Clubs cannot force families accept an offer immediately, but be sure you understand it is only valid for 48 hours. Offers can be pulled after the 48 hours. It’s essential for families to take the time to review the terms of the Offer and ensure they are comfortable with the decision before accepting.
