TRYOUT PROCESS (parent info)

• Prior to the tryout, please confer with your daughter about her interest level in one of our teams. Coaches will spend time over the course of tryouts trying to discover which athletes have SNVF at the top of their list and would accept a position, if offered.
• During tryouts parents should stay in close proximity, in case their athlete is released early or has questions clarifying commitment level (as asked by the coach).
• Parents will be able to view the tryouts through the roll-up doors; they will not be permitted inside the gym, unless the athlete needs to confer about commitment. 
• Instead of a parent meeting, each team will have an info sheet available with dues, costs, inclusions, etc. for review during the tryout. However, if your daughter is offered a position on a team, there will be a brief meeting with the selected athletes, their parents, coaches, and club directors.
• Players will know their status before leaving tryouts. 
• Because of the large number of applicants, we reserve the right to dismiss a few players early. Our intent is to parse numbers down to a reasonable number of players to make the best decisions possible in formulating teams. 

OfferS and Acceptance

At tryouts we will make an OFFICIAL offer to 12 players, who will be presented with the 2025 PSR Letter of Commitment. A VERBAL offer will be made to 3-5 alternates per team; this is NOT an official offer. 

Officially-offered players will have three options:

• ACCEPT: sign to secure their spot on the team immediately, which is a contractually-binding commitment.
• DECLINE: at which point, an official offer will be made to another athlete.
• EXERCISE THE 48-HOUR RULE: If you choose this option, we ask that you make a decision as quickly as possible; your decision will our alternates.

If you are an alternate: Players who are offered contracts have up to 48 hours to accept or decline their offer. As an alternate, remain patient, and our staff will contact you directly if there is an opening.
