On Sunday, August 8 the deadline for all early re-signings and offers for all age divisions closes. Clubs are to send their list of re-signed athletes to the OVA by Tuesday, August 10. Lists are to be submitted through FormStack on the Club Tryouts page on the OVA website. Athletes’ age division and position must be included in the list. If clubs do not report their re-signed athletes, sanctions will be distributed.
After all athletes have been re-signed through the various offer periods, clubs may begin posting open spots that are available on their rosters on Friday, August 13. Through a live table on the Club Tryouts page, clubs can advertise and encourage applications for their positions needed. When filling out the table, clubs are to include:
- Club name
- Club Region and location (as listed in MRS)
- Coaching staff
- Age division or grouping*
- Position(s)
- Number of positions available on each team
*Age Grouping: refers to a training cohort which focuses on an athlete’s skill level rather than age. The new OVA Competition structure (Early CONTACT) allows for multiple birth years to train and compete together. Example: A club may have 11U-13U athletes training and competing as a team.
For a breakdown of these dates, please look at the table below.
