As we approach the opening of the formal offer period, Volleyball Manitoba would like to provide an important reminder to ensure all clubs and families are following the established guidelines
No offers are permitted to be made until Sunday, December 7 at 6:00 p.m.
The only offers that should have been made prior to this date were those issued during the Early Signing Period.
Any email, written message, or communication that states or implies:
- A player is being offered a spot,
- A spot is being held for them, or
- They are being guaranteed placement in any way before December 7
is outside the rules.
Important for Parents
If you receive an offer—or any message resembling an offer—before Sunday, December 7, please be aware that the club or team is not adhering to the required process, and this should be concerning as a parent. These rules exist to protect families and ensure fairness for all athletes.
Important for Coaches (especially 13U & 14U)
For the 13U and 14U age groups, it is especially critical that no offers are sent prior to December 7, even if initial timelines suggested otherwise.
Offer Response Period
Any offers sent on Sunday, December 7 at 6:00 p.m. must remain open until: Tuesday, December 9 at 6:00 p.m.
Athletes must be provided the full 48-hour window to decide. After this 48 hr window, all offers made must provide 24 hrs for athlete acceptance.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a fair and transparent process for all participants.
