Default Snow Will NOT Affect NY/NY Revolution Tryout

The tryout this Sunday, December 11 from 2 - 5 pm will still be held as scheduled. Snow will be cleared from the field allowing all speed and agility events as well as one-on-ones to take place as planned.

We look forward to seeing more talented players at third tryout.

COMBINE NUMBERS WILL NOT BE THE ONLY FACTOR

Following the success of the team’s first and second open player tryout-combines, the New York – New Jersey Revolution will give potential players another opportunity to vie for a roster spot on Sunday, December 11th at Alumni Stadium, 2900 Amboy Road in Staten Island, NY, from 2pm-5pm. Registration begins promptly at 1:30pm and includes a $35 processing fee payable in cash on the day of the tryout-combine only. The tryout-combine will be held rain, snow or shine and participants should wear workout attire suitable for outdoor play, as well as shoes appropriate for field turf. Participants must be at least 18 years old and will be required to sign a waiver form.

Potential players will be reviewed in the following events: 40-yard dash, 20-yard pro shuttle, L-agility drill and broad jump. Participants will also take part in one-on-one drills against players with professional arena and indoor experience in order to properly evaluate the potential player's skill level. One-on-one drills are included in the tryout to simulate actual game situations and the results will weigh heavily on a potential player's final rating, rather than just combine number results alone. New York- and New Jersey-area prospects are especially encouraged to attend as the Revolution is looking to sign as many local players as possible to its training camp roster. All potential players must tryout regardless of prior professional experience.

For additional information about the tryout-combine on December 11th or for directions to Alumni Stadium in Staten Island, please email team@nynjrevolution.com .

Silly question but, how can you "simulate actual game situations" for an indoor league on an outdoor field that just had a snow storm blow through? I would imagine performance on an indoor, temperature controlled field would be different than a recently snow covered field in below freezing temps.

How many showed up?
Did anyone who didn't suffer hypothermia make the team?

Default December 11th tryout

There were over 40 people in attendance, and we did sign 12 players from that workout.
