Quick question, when are girls currently on a DA roster officially allowed to tryout for other DA teams? Is it after the June showcase or once the last game of their current team's regular season is completed?
ThanksAfter the showcase or playoff in June
How about communication with another DA club?After the showcase or playoff in June
How about communication with another DA club?
For example prior to the playoff can a DA player email a coach from another DA club requesting the coach comes see her play @ player’s next game with current DA team.
Unless they sit next to a Coach from another team on the airplane back from a “showcase”.....LOL!
Oh maybe the coach from the other club showed up uninvited and decided to sit by the spectator’s side.......yeah maybe this is what happened LOL!Unless they sit next to a Coach from another team on the airplane back from a “showcase”.....LOL!
So why is it the other Clubs fault? Sounds like the parents/player are the ones manipulating the system. If the Club was recruiting the player, there wouldn’t be a need for a tryout.Your question was..."when are girls currently on a DA roster officially allowed to tryout for other DA teams?" Since that was the question, and you seemed to have an answer, I did not chime in. If you want to know what appears to be happening, at least with some clubs in SD County, here you go: DA players cannot try out for another DA team (without permission) per the rules. So said player tries out for the "DPL" team (wink wink nudge nudge) of the club they are interested in. Lo and behold, the coaches and DOCs at said club are surprised by the player's talent. I mean truly surprised! Who would have thought a current DA player would have been that good!? DA offer is then made to player. Player never tried out for the "DA" team.
The whole thing is a farce. Club technically abided by DA rules (not in spirit but by the letter of the rules), and player/parents gets what they wanted, a DA offer. I don't blame the player or the parents. This whole thing is not set up to help the players but puts power back into the hands of the local clubs. And the local clubs are going to look out for themselves.
I would imagine the club advised the parent(s) that they needed to see the kid(s) before they made a DA offer, and encouraged the kid to "tryout" or train with the DPL team to get around the DA rules. I can imagine a few scenarios where a club might not know a player is becoming available before being contacted by the parents.So why is it the other Clubs fault?

Would the 2 teams have played each other this season? I’m not defending a Club by any means, but based on your story and subsequent follow up, abounds like the parents are just as culpable.I would imagine the club advised the parent(s) that they needed to see the kid(s) before they made a DA offer, and encouraged the kid to "tryout" or train with the DPL team to get around the DA rules.

Clubs also have access to film from any club in DA. They could also have previewed it as an option.I would imagine the club advised the parent(s) that they needed to see the kid(s) before they made a DA offer, and encouraged the kid to "tryout" or train with the DPL team to get around the DA rules.

To me it sounds like the parents/player are the ones manipulated BY the system. It's all about the kids right? If the club cannot keep a player happy, then the player should be able to move on to anywhere they are welcome. Club hoppers will get a reputation and become unwelcome.So why is it the other Clubs fault? Sounds like the parents/player are the ones manipulating the system.

Sounds more like a Club issue than a systemic one. DA Does allow for transfers during the season as long as both clubs DOCs sign off on it. Thus there is a procedure for people who are not happy with in their current club.To me it sounds like the parents/player are the ones manipulated BY the system. It's all about the kids right?

Seems like the original thread question was more about when can currently rostered player can tryout for another club. Seems like “transfer” word was a mistake.Why would anyone seek a transfer if they are happy in their current club?
my understanding of the DA rules is that families may reach out to other clubs to initiate contact/see if there;'s interest, but that clubs are not supposed to initiate contact w/ a player without permission from the current club. formal "try-outs" of a player are not allowed without permission by current club.Quick question, when are girls currently on a DA roster officially allowed to tryout for other DA teams?
