Georgia Force News Release
ATLANTA, GA. â The Georgia Force, of the Arena Football League, will officially begin their on-field preparations for the 2004 season on Saturday, January 17th at the Buchanan School in Norcross. The Buchanan School will serve as the Force's practice facility throughout training camp and the regular season. All practices are open to the public and to the media.
With 26 new players signing with the Force this offseason, including AFL standouts WR/LB Dialleo Burks, WR/LB Andy McCullough and WR/DB Dameon Porter, there will be a lot of competition in camp as Head Coach Marty Lowe and his staff make their decisions on the club's 37-man training camp roster. The league's mandatory cut down date to reach the regular season 24-man roster is February 2nd.
On Friday, January 23rd, the Force will be traveling to Charlotte to scrimmage the Carolina Cobras. The teams will meet at the Charlotte Coliseum in a combined effort to prepare for the season since the AFL has no preseason games.
