Huntsville Flight News Release
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., September 10, 2003 â The Huntsville Flight announced that it will hold a local open tryout for a chance to be a part of the 2003-04 team, Oct. 25-26, at the Optimist Park Recreation Center (703 Oakwood Ave., 256-427-5775).
The Saturday sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon and 2-5 p.m. with cuts held at the end of the day. Up to 10 participants from Saturday will be asked to come back Sunday to participate in an invitation-only session from 1-5 p.m.
There is a $75 registration fee for the open tryout, which guarantees a spot for the first 100 players for the first day of the camp.
