How to Join a Salvo Performance Team
Player ID occurs two times per year, once in mid/late July for players 9U-19U and again in late October/early November for players 9U-10U. This is the primary way in which players join a performance team as it gives our coaches the ability to asses players skills and strengths on the field and match them with an appropriate team.
|
Players unable to attend Player ID should fill out the New Player Form linked above. A Salvo representative will be in contact to discuss your options.
*Filling out this form is not a commitment to play for Salvo. This form is only for interested parties to receive more information. |
