What are evaluation clinics?
Evaluation clinics are designed for fast-paced drills and gameplay, tailored specifically for evaluation and consideration purposes for next seasons club teams. They serve as a prime opportunity for us to gain deeper insights into each athlete, to provide evaluations and make informed decisions regarding potential offers and team placements for the upcoming season.
In order to accommodate conversations we have planned our clinics to give buffer time so coaches can communicate with those in attendance. Non-Binding Verbal offers may be made during these events.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you attend these events if you wish to be considered for one of Power’s club teams.
What are non-binding offers?
It is Power Volleyball’s understanding that the North Texas Region (NTR) would like to allow families to shop multiple clubs to find the best fit for their daughter. Once families and clubs have found what they feel to be the best fit for player and team, both parties would like some level of assurance that a spot is held for the player. This is what is considered a nonbinding verbal offer.
According to NTR, this will allow families to freely look at and evaluate with other clubs of interest without feeling locked into their first decision of the first club they evaluate with.
What does a verbal offer mean at Power Volleyball?
When a Power coach extends a verbal offer, Power is committing to your family that we will reserve a spot on a specific team for your daughter to play on until July 8th, 2025, when we can officially sign a binding contract for the season.
