2010 Publication Calendar
The AVID Soccer Equipment Review tests products
throughout the year. We recommend manufacturers provide at least
two examples of a product to ensure that a defect in one does not skew
the results of the test. We encourage you to provide care
instructions, a standard marketing package, manufacturing/materials and
other relevant information. Reviews may take up to 3-4 weeks to
complete and up to 14 days to appear on the site. We are happy to
work with manufacturers and retailers to schedule publication to
coincide with other marketing/release events on a best efforts basis.
If a product needs to be returned, it must be
accompanied by adequate packaging and pre-paid shipping (FedEx or USPS
preferred). Please note that testing under real world conditions
may result in damage. AVID Soccer is not responsible for damage
resulting from testing or shipping.
Additional detail is available on the printable
schedule and on the submissions
instructions.
