Player Age Waiver
Close this window to continue
HOA has a provision to allow a club to waiver a player down to a lower
age group. The provision was implemented to allow players to play on
teams with their school classmates and age group.
Nationally, the age group cutoff for USAV teams is September 1st.
However, in the mid-west schools tend to use a cutoff date of July 1st
to August 1st. This means that players with birth dates during those
months would normally be required to play with players in the grade
above them.
The waiver rules are simple.
1. Waivered players are only allowed on Silver teams - not Gold.
2. The waivered player MUST be in the appropriate grade for the team
they are waivered on. Example - 12u players are expected to be in the
6th grade. A player that is in the 7th grade may not be waivered on a
12u team.
3. Players (age and grade appropriate) may be waivered on any Junior
Silver team up to 18u.
4. The decision to use waivered players belongs to the individual club. If
the club accepts a waivered play they will lose to option of moving that
team up to the Gold level later in the season.
