Central Valley Coyotes News Release


If you think you have what it takes to help the Central Valley Coyotes top their 11-7 record from 2007, you better get ready to prove it. The final open tryout for the 2008 season will be held in Fresno on Saturday February 9th at 12:00pm at the Velocity Sports Performance facility.

Again, Bill Costa owner of Velocity Sports Performance, Fresno's newest state of the art training facility, has opened his doors to the Coyotes as he will host the testing portion of the tryout. Costa and his staff will be testing participants in the 40 yard dash, a 3 Cone L Drill, the bench press (225 x max reps), the vertical jump, and the 20 yard short shuttle. "Velocity is a fantastic indoor facility," said Coyote Head Coach Fred Biletnikoff Jr. "Each 40 yard dash is electronically timed, the vertical jumps are electronically measured, and each drill will be done on indoor turf." Attire for this portion of the tryout will be shorts or sweats, tee shirts or sweat shirts and shoes with no screw-ins or no molded spikes will be allowed in Velocity.

The second portion of the tryout will be conducted at Hoover High School. When testing is done at Velocity, the group will head outdoors to continue with position specific drills and 1 on 1's. Hoover High School is directly across the street from the Velocity facility. Cleats will be needed for this portion of the tryout.

"From our workout at Velocity in November we signed Patrick Josten, a quarterback from Chapman University. We're looking to put the final touches on our roster for the 2007 season. I'm 99% positive that someone from this workout will leave with a contract in their hands," assured Biletnikoff.

The Coyotes February 2007 try-out resulted in the assigning of wide receiver Jason Barnes, who led the Coyotes in receiving last season.
