To:         Principals and Athletic Directors

Re:        NIL Clubs

I hope this communication finds all of you doing well.

I want to make you aware of notifications your student-athletes may receive via email or text message about joining a NIL Club through the app.  The email or text message will say, “Someone from your school has invited you to join your team’s NIL Club.” 

An organization named Yoke is promoting this action.  The company encourages student-athletes to join these clubs.  This violates VHSL NIL Policy 28B-2-4 Name, Image and Likeness, which states:

(b) Student-athletes are prohibited from engaging in the following while participating in NIL activities.

  • Making any reference to a school team, school, district, region or VHSL

In addition, this NIL Club meets the definition of NIL Collective as defined in VHSL policy.

NIL Collective: A group of alumni, supporters, parents, or other people who form a

corporation, limited liability company, partnership, non-profit organization foundation, or other

entity to provide NIL opportunities to student-athletes of a specific school.

Please communicate with your coaches, parents, and student-athletes that by joining or participating in this NIL Club, they are jeopardizing their eligibility by violating VHSL policy.

We are working with our legal counsel to address this issue with the Yoke company.  If the League’s interpretation of this policy changes, each school will be notified.

If you have any questions, please contact the League Office.

Thank you,

Billy

  • A great insight to the importance of the first touch from Christian Pulisic,  a 19 year player for USMNT and Borussia Dortmund.
    • In a game situation, the first touch is never an end in itself. “As you get older, it’s about the movements,” Pulisic says. “It’s knowing which direction to take your first touch, and not just receiving it. A lot of times it’s not about stopping the ball under your foot and not having any options after that. It’s putting yourself in a good position for what you want to do with it.”
