Brevard Blue Ducks News Release
Melbourne, Florida â The Brevard Blue Ducks today announced that their open tryouts for the 2003 season will be held on Saturday, March 29th at the Clemente Center at Florida Tech in Melbourne.
Tryouts will begin at 9:00AM and will run all day. Registration is at 8:15 AM. Cost will be $125 if registered and paid in advance, or $150 at the door. Checks will be accepted only if paid in advance.
The Blue Ducks are a member of the United States Basketball League (USBL), which serves as a minor league to the NBA. In its 18-year existence, over 150 players have graduated from the USBL to the NBA. Stars such as Avery Johnson, Spud Webb, Monute Bol, Mugsy Bouges, Chris Childs, Anthony Mason and Orlando's own Darrell Armstrong all got their start in the USBL.
Last year, the Blue Ducks invited six players from their tryout camp back to veteran's camp and eventually kept three for their team.
"We were very pleased with the level of talent we saw at our camp last year and hope that we have as good a showing this year. We take the open tryouts very seriously and wound up keeping three players from the camp on the Blue Ducks squad for the season. Those players are now following their dream of playing professional basketball," stated Mike Richman, Blue Ducks owner.
