It has been brought to our attention that some junior clubs have not been complying with Hoosier Region rules regarding tryouts for junior players.
At every tryout, a player must have his or her fully completed 2007-08 Hoosier Region individual membership application. Before being allowed to participate in any tryout, that form, along with the region membership fee, will be handed to the person in charge of running that tryout; it may be paid along with the specified tryout fee or separately. This is in addition to any team or club forms that may be used or club tryout fees charged, if any.
When a player is selected to remain with the club which that player has tried out for and that player's parent/guardian agrees with that selection, the region membership fee will be retained by that club and forwarded to the region office along with the membership application.
Players will be allowed to attend multiple tryouts where they will be required to complete and present a 2006-07 Hoosier Region individual membership application that will be collected before each tryout. The region individual membership fee is paid only one time per season.
Example: Player A attends her first tryout with club ABC, completes an application, and pays the region membership fee. Player A then attends a second tryout with club XYZ and hands in the completed application but no membership fee. Player A then decides to go with the club XYZ. Club ABC will refund the region fee directly to the player or her parent/guardian or to club XYZ.
