About Tryouts in General - Article by Tom Hinson |
Players
Right to Choose!!! (Excerpt from OSYSA website
www.osysa.com)
OSYSA has established a policy regarding a player's right to choose that
was effective January 1st 2007. All competitive players, parents,
coaches, leagues, clubs, teams, and others involved in the tryout
process must read the policy and comply with its requirements. Note that
several leagues have policies in place and you should review your league
policy as it may supersede this OSYSA policy.
(Note policy 18.1.1). Players Right to Choose (PDF)
Excerpt from MVYSA Rules:
www.mvysa.com/rules.html
8.3. In
order to allow players and their families the ability to choose the best
competitive team for them, the following fair play guidelines must be
observed:
(a)
Coaches may not deter, discourage or prohibit players from attending
any tryout the player desires to attend, provided the tryout does not
conflict with any scheduled league or tournament game in which the
player's team is scheduled to play.
(b) Players and parents may not be charged a fee of any nature
associated with any tryout.
(c) Coaches may not place demands on any player to join a team after
tryouts. To that end, coaches may not, within 48 hours following the
tryout, require a player to commit to a team, require a fee to hold a
roster position, or require a player or parent to sign any
registration forms.
WHEN ARE TEAMS FORMED?
Tryouts are held by competitive teams in this area after June 1.
Teams are formed as soon after tryouts as possible, HOWEVER, the
process extends informally throughout the summer and fall high school
soccer season. It is not unusual to have fewer than the
required 12 players per team at the end of the formal tryouts.
Select-level teams will still be forming new teams in
January-February 2008 and still adding players through April 23, which
is a MVYSA league deadline. Games in MVYSA start in April and
LOCAL tournaments start in March. There are exceptions but this is
the general timeline for select teams.
Many area Super-Clubs have teams that play at the Elite, Premier,
and Select levels of competition and their team selections are driven by
different priorities.
Select teams generally only play in the Spring, but Elite- and
Premier-level teams start training, tournaments and league games
immediately following the Ohio High School Interscholastic Teams
Tournament, which concludes by November. Therefore, some teams
MUST be formed, uniformed, carded and ready to train and play in
November. These teams are under more pressure to invite talented
players to sign with their teams and will ask for quick, yet informed
and thoughtful decisions to accept their invitation to play. If a
player/family cannot accept the invitation to play within a reasonable
time-frame, the invitation is withdrawn and then the next player on the
list of outstanding candidates is invited to play, and so on.
DEPOSITS with Acceptance are a general practice for clubs because
the rosters must be certain and funds available to make advanced
payments with Tournament Applications for multiple tournaments prior to
the start of training and play. The deposits also help defray
early expenses such as player/league registrations, indoor facility
rental deposits, indoor soccer season deposits, and assignment of
coaches and trainers.
It is HARMFUL and very unsporting behavior when
verbally-committed-team-members decide to abandon a team to go play for
another, often taking one to five teammates with them. This almost
always leaves the rest of the roster crippled because other qualified
players were turned away due to a full roster. Such abandonment of
integrity and broken promises to all players and families on the team
can leave the abandoned team with too few players to register and thus,
without a spring team by the registration deadline. I support
player rights to choose, but I also expect honesty and integrity in
persons who keep their promises and honor their commitments, because
broken promises always hurt innocent people.
Therefore, in order to protect the integrity and reality of a selected
team, a DEPOSIT is required that is non-refundable by many teams for
reasons mentioned above. The DEPOSIT is applied wholly toward the
spring fee, registration costs and facility rental contracts.
What if my child cannot make any of the tryouts? Teams are
formed as soon after tryouts as possible, HOWEVER, the process
extends informally throughout the summer and fall high school soccer
season. Visit the area team websites, send email or call the
contact person to arrange for individual tryouts by observation at high
school tryouts, pre-season tournaments, during high school games, or
even private tryouts by appointment. |
Dayton United Soccer Club operates under the organizational umbrella
of Team
Dayton/DSA
and strives to provide excellent training and
appropriate levels of competition for players who are not seeking
positions on the elite-level travel-teams.
Dayton United focuses on training players and developing outstanding
youth soccer coaches. All teams play in the Premier Division of the
Miami Valley Youth Soccer Association, compete in several Ohio
Tournaments, and may attend one or more tournaments in neighboring
states during the Spring Season. |
