Team Selection

* The trial period (Sep 16 - Oct 7th) for weekly event meetings starts in the week on 09/16. All students/parents who have filled out the student interest form will be notified by email. Please check the weekly meeting calendar  for information regarding the event meetings you plan to attend.

* A thorough understanding of event-specific rules is critical for MVSO student success. One component of student assessment during the trial period will be based on the student's familiarity with the event rules. Event Rules, Team Allocation, and Events Block will be published shortly for the upcoming SO season.

* In the second week of October, we will notify students who have been selected for the initial draft of our teams. At that time we will also inform parents of the registration process and donation towards registration fees. Please do not drop off any checks yet at the school front office. We will begin collecting checks in October.
