Fort Worth Flyers News Release


FORT WORTH, Texas, August 24, 2006 - The Fort Worth Flyers will hold open tryouts Saturday and Sunday, October 7-8, at Nolan Catholic High School, 4501 Bridge Street, Fort Worth, Texas, 76103.

Open tryouts offer local athletes an opportunity to showcase their talents in front of NBA Development League

(D-League) coaches while they compete to earn a position in the team's official training camp. Training camp is scheduled to begin in November.

"Last season we were fortunate to have a player from the open tryout earn a roster spot [forward Anthony Terrell]," said Flyers team president Ken Nicholson. "This success story shows that the tryout truly provides players with an opportunity to pursue their dream of playing in the NBA."

Terrell, a 6-6, 230 pound forward, played collegiately at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. Terrell spent the 2004-05 season in the ABA with the Carolina Thunder and the Arkansas RimRockers (the RimRockers joined the D-League for the 2005-06 season) prior to attending the Flyers' local player tryout last fall. Terrell appeared in all 48 games for the Flyers, making 21 starts and averaging 8.2 points and 4.2 rebounds.

The Saturday session will begin at 8 a.m. with check-in and will conclude at 5 p.m. A select group of athletes will be chosen to participate in a final session on Sunday beginning at 9 a.m.

Applicants must be eligible to play in the NBA Development League and may pre-register by submitting the official registration, disclosure, and release forms along with a $125 non-refundable fee by 5 p.m. on September 22. All applications received after the pre-registration deadline will be subject to a $150 non-refundable fee. Cash and money orders are the only accepted forms of payment for the registration fee. Applications are available at fwflyers.com or the Fort Worth Flyers office located at 512 Main Street, Suite 411, Fort Worth, TX, 76102.
