Carolina Speed News Release


As football fever sweeps the nation, the Carolina Speed is set to fuel up October 28th, 2006 at Cabarrus Arena & Events Center. The Speed will hold its first open tryout in history.

The Speed, an expansion team in the American Indoor Football Association for the 2006 season looks to compete immediately. "We believe that the Charlotte/Concord area is rich in athletic talent," says owner/ GM, John Morris. "I know how Michael feels about losing and that is not in his creed." He says about his partner, the Owner/Director of Football Operations, Michael Mink.

The Speed combine will consist of a 40 yard dash, L. Drill, 20 yard shuttle, skill testing, and individual position drills. Players are encouraged to bring their resume, game film, and proper athletic attire (outdoor cleats/tennis shoes a must). Registration starts Saturday, October 28th at 8am. Their will be a $60 tryout fee (Cash or money order only).

"If you are a player looking to make it to the next level, this is where you want to be," says Mink. Last week, the Lakeland Thunderbolts sent three players to the AFL, and Reading, PA sent another five players to the next level. The AIFA's goal is to send as many players as possible to the NFL, AFL, CFL, and NFL Europe. "We don't restrict our players from moving up the next level, we encourage it," says Mink.

The Carolina Speed are coming to the greater charlotte-concord area. Carolina football is looking forward to entertaining the local community and supporting local businesses. This is the first step in their goals towards winning the championship.
