Offer Acceptance Period

[Anonymous]

How long after making an offer do most travel clubs give a kid / family to accept or decline? Is it typical to force families to make such decisions before the season is over?

3 -7 days?

Yes.

You realize its a revolving door. Your decision affects many other familes ability to make that team or be placed on a lower team.

You can decline and try and comeback this summer or fall. You may be stuck with whatever team has openings depending on your childs talent. If its a small club, you may have to go elsewhere.

I got 48 hours to decide.

I think a week is the real number. I've seen 24 hour deadlines, but I think they are both fake and very unprofessional.

I'm not sure what you mean by "real number", but I just got an email today, giving me 48 hours to respond. Same as last year.

When DD has considered moving clubs and tried out elsewhere, we generally ignore short deadlines because other tryouts are still going on. I don't think she has ever taken an offer in under three or four days even though most have shorter time frames. We have never heard about it from the clubs one way or the other

Where are offers coming from? And are you existing player or new?

If your DC is needed they’ll wait.

Loudoun used to do this. Now they demand it within 12 hours. The desperation is real.

MYS?

What league at least?

48 hrs.

If you kid is exceptionally good for the team they may wait a bit more...

I think they give deadline dates but sometimes the computer system still allows you to enroll. This just occurred with our super y enrollment and with a summer camp waitlist enrollment when I went past the deadline.

This method of course is a gamble.
