Competitive FAQ
Player ID represents Salvo’s version of “tryouts.” Players are assessed on their soccer skills and fitness by Salvo coaches and evaluators to determine the team that would suit them best. Salvo does not make cuts! All players will be assigned to a team as long as there are enough players to make a team at the appropriate age and skill level. Visit our Player ID page for more information.
The Girls Academy program does make cuts and follows a different process for Player ID. Visit the Girls Academy page for more details.

Salvo SC currently operates out of three primary geos. “Geos” is another word for “hubs” or “locations.” Our Central geo operates mainly out of Mendota Heights and West St. Paul and also uses Eagan. Our East geo operates heavily in Woodbury but also in Cottage Grove and St. Paul. Our South geo uses facilities in Farmington, Rosemount, Lakeville and Apple Valley.
