Important Information For ALL PROGRAMS

Schedule Conflicts:  We recognize prior obligations will take precedence over playing.  Family, church, or school commitments may arise that could prohibit a player from attending certain weekends, days, or games.  However, since all entry fees, gym fees and administrative fees hinge on a full roster, we are unable to give discounts or refunds for missed events.

Players must notify vikingclub@wivikingclub.org and the team coach at least 3 weeks in advance of known schedule conflicts.

Team Wisconsin Select Teams:  Athletes must be able to commit to all July events.  If there is a conflict, you must discuss it with the team coach.

Team Wisconsin Tryout Teams:  Athletes on Team Wisconsin teams must be able to commit to at least 80% of the team’s events; the July events must have a high level of commitment, or have approval for absences before acceptance to the team. 

Team Wisconsin Select and Team Wisconsin Teams: 

  • Teams will be initially formed with 9-11 players per team.

  • Player invitations for Team Wisconsin tryout teams will be emailed out within 48 hours of the last tryout .  Athletes must respond within 24 hours with their acceptance to the team.

  • Our staff may move players, after initial team formations, to maximize the opportunity for the player and the team. 

  • If a player fails to show up at an event without notifying their coach BEFORE the event, we reserve the right to remove the player from the team and the player will forfeit all program fees paid. 

  • All outstanding 2011 fees must be paid or an agreement reached before trying out for a 2012 team.

Transportation, hotel costs, and meals are the responsibility of the athlete and their family.  The Viking Club/Team Wisconsin does not provide these things.
