In an effort to provide you with more information about club processes, league information, upcoming deadlines, etc., we will be sending out a Coach & Team Manager Newsletter approximately two times per month. These newsletters will serve as the main form of communication between the club and the coaches/managers.
In these newsletters, you will see three main sections highlighted in orange: Coaches & Team Managers, Coaches, and Team Managers. Those main sections are further broken down into subsections highlighted in blue: All Groups, HP, Academy, Travel/Seasonal, etc. (HP=Navy, Orange, and White teams, Academy=Steel and Grey teams, Travel/Seasonal= Teal, Red, Crimson, and Scarlet teams).
At times, there may be a lot of information in these newsletters. It is our hope that by breaking it down into main sections and subsections, it will be easier for each group to identify what information is most pertinent to them.

All coaches, players, and jersey numbers have been uploaded to TeamSnap. If a manager needs to be added or removed from your team, please do the following:
- If you are the team owner, you will be able to make the change. Go to the Roster tab and select +New Player near the top or Delete to the right side of the screen.
- If you are not the owner and the owner is no longer on the team, contact your director.
- If the owner is still on your team, work with them to make the change.

High Performance, Academy, & 2001-2007 Travel & Seasonal Teams
All fall players should have ordered their uniform kit. If any fall player has not yet placed their order, please have them do this asap.
Winter/Spring players will need to place their order by September 15.
2008-2012 Fall Seasonal Teams
Salvo SC will be providing players with uniform kits for the fall season. When these items arrive, a team representative will need to pick them up from the Salvo SC offices and distribute them to the team. We will let you know when they will be ready for pick up.
If there is a player on your team who was not at Player ID and did not receive a Player ID shirt, we will include this shirt in their uniform kit.

Communication about these adjustments will be sent through email, posted on our website, and posted on our social media pages.
Minnesota weather can be unpredictable. At times, a coach or referee may need to determine if it is safe for our players to practice or play a game. Please review our weather policy
here and use it as a guideline to determine whether a practice should be canceled.
Weather Bug and OSHA-NIOSH Heat Index are the two apps we refer to for weather information. You can download these apps to your phone using the links below:

Each team will have expenses that go beyond what the player registration fee covers. These expenses may include tournament registration fees, coach travel, extra dome space costs, winter league fees, referee fees, etc.
Team Managers are not responsible for collecting these fees. Salvo SC staff will set each team's budget based on the expectations for the team. Families will set up their payment of these fees as a part of the registration process. We will adjust the team fees being collected as we finalize rosters and determine actual expenses incurred.
Each team's budget can be found in the files section of their TeamSnap account. Seasonal teams will not have a team budget for the fall as their Salvo SC Fall Classic tournament registration fee is part of the player registration fee.
All questions regarding team fees and team budgets should be directed to
teamexpenses@salvosoccer.org. Please include your team's name in the subject line of every email. Your team name is the last two digits of the birth year, gender, geo location, and color. For example, 06G East Red, 09B South Grey, 02B Navy.

New this year and in connection with the new team budget process, Salvo SC staff will be working with each team to handle the registrations of tournaments. This will include Salvo SC staff setting up the registration and directly paying for the registration fee. Managers should no longer be completing the registrations or payments.
Managers will need to let us know what tournaments their team will be participating in so we can register the team. We are setting up a form for managers to fill out for each tournament they plan to attend. More information on this process will be sent next week.
|
|
Please make sure you are keeping your training schedule up-to-date in bookafield. If you will not be using your space, please remove it from bookafield. You do not need to update bookafield for field closures.
|
|
If your team is participating in a stay and play tournament, the team should take care of their own hotel for the fall.
If your team is participating in a tournament that is not a stay and play, you should connect with your director and we will help you find hotels.
