Who Must Register? How to Register? When to Register?

• Players
• Coaches
• Chaperones
• Team (at least 6 members plus 1 coach per team)

Generally a Club will register all their members during one session. Once all tryouts have been completed and players have been chosen and listed with their specific age group team, all registration forms along with a finalized team form are mailed to the OkRVA office. Each team roster must be completed and a separate check per team. DO NOT ENCLOSE ONE CHECK FOR THE ENTIRE CLUB.

Registration starts each year on November 1st and goes through Oct. 31 of the next year. Clubs may start earlier than this date with tryouts and practices and will be covered by the insurance prior to because each tryout MUST be sanctioned with the OkRVA office. There is “no charge” for the sanctioning of tryouts and practices.

Medical Release Forms

Each Junior player must have a medical release form on file. The Coach must carry a signed copy of the medical form with them at all times. It is best to have a copy on file with the Club Officers as well. There is no need to file a copy with the OkRVA office.

Clinics

• Impact
• Officials
• Parental

Each team must have an IMPACT certified coach and a minimum of 3 certified officials (2referees and a scorekeeper). OkRVA will host these clinics and they will be announced either with direct mailing or through the “Attackline” newsletter.

The Parent Clinic is an informal meeting that a club can schedule with the Commissioner that can be used to “educate” parents into the Club system. These are not mandatory only complimentary.

Suggestions

• Try and have a team/club guidelines manual prepared BEFORE the season begins.
• Do not allow any player, coach OR parent to participate in any form of physical activity (running drills, playing, shagging…….etc) without the individual filling out the Registration form for Adults or the Medical Release form for the junior participant.
• Do not allow a parent to drive another player (other than their own child) without a Chaperon form, which has been completed.
• Have a First Aid kit on hand for all practices.
• Make sure your Club Director and/or coach has requested a sanction from the Commissioner to cover all practices and tryouts with insurance and to be in compliance with the Guidelines for a Junior Club before either are conducted.
