How to become a Maverick
Our annual evaluations and open team enrollment are in early May of each year. Our May placement clinics are an opportunity for potential members to see what the Desert Elite is about and for the coaches to assess their ability and place them on the appropriate team. If anyone is unable to attend, we continue our OPEN ENROLLMENT throughout the summer and early fall.
If you’re interested in becoming a part of our team program or should you like more information – please call Director Amy Grey at (760) 565-6226 or email her at tgrey@dc.rr.com. We have teams for ages 3 and up, beginning to advanced. You don’t have to have experience – we give you the experience!
