[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine you have no offers and you try to find a last-minute option for your DD. You come to this forum and figure out that Academy would be a pretty solid backup plan. But how do you answer that question? You probably say "absolutely" - you would accept an offer from Academy. Then during the Academy tryout, you get an offer from a better club (other player rejected the offer and a spot opened for your DD). What would you do? Was that a promise to accept the Academy offer if you get it? Ignore the offer from the better club because you promised to accept the Academy offer? Ethical / moral dilemma. [/quote]

This.  It’s exactly why the CHRVA rules exist.  Academy, and any other club that asks a similar question in registration or at tryouts, was willing to break the rules and put players into a position where they feel forced to either accept an offer they don’t want or lie to the club.[/quote]

Here is what we learned from Volley Viet, verbal conversations with coaches at other clubs and talking with more experienced families.  You always lie.  You always tell a club they are your first choice.  There is no loyalty anywhere and they will turn on you in a second.  You can do the same to them.  It isn’t a moral dilemma.  It’s no different than them telling a player how bad they want the player to come to the club and then no email ever comes.

Still, I would stay away from any club asking these questions.  My daughter will not try out for VV again.  [/quote]
