HOUSTON, TX -Almost 500 prospective players from more than 30 countries and five continents have registered for the Dynamo Trials 2008, presented by LALA, which start this Saturday at Plex, 711 Avenue E, Stafford TX 77477.

In sessions that start at 8:00 a.m., the Dynamo will run all registered participants through a series of three fitness tests, and those who achieve a professional standard will advance to the skills tests, which will be held April 26. The names of players who advance will be posted on the team's website on Sunday.

The players who have signed up for trials come from countries such as Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ghana, and Indonesia and all populated continents except Australia. Their backgrounds range from professional players with experience at major international tournaments, such as the FIFA Confederations Cup, to those who play in weekend recreation leagues, such as the Houston Football Association.

Players who pass the fitness and skills testing will be invited back to train and play with the Dynamo Academy under the watchful eyes of the Dynamo technical staff. If a player demonstrates the professional skill and ability to play for the Houston Dynamo, he will be invited into first-team training camp with the chance of signing a professional contract.
