The day of June 15th is D-Day. Whereas in professional football players can make a transfer long after the new competition has started, in amateur football the KNVB keeps a strict early deadline.
A number of students were clever to subscribe already for coming season, so as to be sure that the KNVB approves the transfer to GVC. If you subscribe after June 15th, then the KNVB only approves the transfer under certain circumstances, some of which are applicable to many of our (new) member (e.g., moving, starting a study). However, if you do not want to take the risk, please be welcome to subscribe before D-Day. The KNVB keeps administration five years back in time, so even if you did not play a match for one or several years, an official transfer is still needed.
Subscription, by the way, is free, and without any strings attached. As is tradition at GVC, the first months of the season are free, so that people finding their way in their new student life have chance to see if GVC is to become part of it. So, the first months are a trail period – for you and for us. The real ‘contract’ is signed after you have proven your football skills.
For Dutch people aiming to play at GVC1: the June 15th deadline is especially hard for you; if you come from nearby Wageningen, make sure to subscribe on time!
