NorCal Tryout Window 2020 (Updated May 2020)

NorCal Recruiting Definition Update:
With the objective of providing more clarity on some grey areas associated with recruiting rules, the NorCal Board of Directors has approved an updated definition of recruiting, effective immediately (see below). This definition has been updated in the NorCal Code of Ethics, NorCal Handbook & any relevant policies/documents.

Outside the NorCal Tryout Window:  “Recruiting” refers to making any contact or communication with a player who is registered with another NorCal club, in which the player is asked or allowed to join a club, attend a tryout or club training session, or play or guest play for another club, without first receiving permission from the Director of Coaching of the player’s club.

Inside the NorCal Tryout Window:  “Recruiting” refers to making an initial or first contact or communication with a player who is registered with another NorCal club, in which the player is asked or allowed to join a club, attend a tryout or club training session, or guest play for another club, without first receiving permission from the Director of Coaching of the player’s club.

Note:  Players do not need DOC permission to contact other clubs during the Tryout Window, and Adult members are permitted to respond to such contacts during the Tryout Window, without requesting permission from the player’s DOC.
