ASHBURN, VA - May 10, 2007-The Washington Glory, the newest member of the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) softball league, announced today that they will hold an open tryout for one roster spot for the 2007 team on Saturday, May 19 at 10am at George Mason University's softball complex.

"We've put together an outstanding team for our inaugural season. Our players are some of the best in the world. We're excited about opening up this opportunity to a stand-out player who wants that rare special chance to make it into the pro league."
