Milwaukee Mustangs News Release
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Iron of the Arena Football League announced today that they will guarantee a contract to at least one free agent during their final Free Agent Tryout, which will take place this Saturday, March 13 at the Brookfield Indoor Soccer Complex.
"We look forward to offering an opportunity for an athlete to come to camp and show us what he has with his helmet on," said Iron head coach Bob Landsee. "This is great event for the team and for local athletes around the Milwaukee area. In the end, this will give someone the chance to make the team during training camp."
Registration for the camp will begin at 10:00 am and tryouts will begin at 11:00 am. Milwaukee Iron head coach Bob Landsee and the rest of the Iron staff will conduct the camp. This camp has limited space so it is highly recommended that participants pre-register by calling 262-523-9206 or emailing their information to mkennedy@mkeiron.com before Friday March 13, 2010 as spaces are filling up.
A pre-registration fee of $50.00 will be charged and must be paid in cash during registration on day of camp. A fee of $65.00 will be charged for all walk-ups (space permitting) who were not pre-registered. Participants must be 18 years or older by March 13, 2010 to attend the camp. Proper photo ID such as a valid driver's license will be needed. The Town Place Suites by Marriott, located at 600 North Calhoun Road in Brookfield, WI 53005, will offer a special rate of $69 per night for Milwaukee Iron camp participants. Accommodations can be made by calling 262-784-8450.
All participants will be required to sign a waiver and fill out a registration form before beginning any part of the workout. These forms will be available at the registration desk. Participants should be prepared to complete any drills that are done at professional football combines or tryouts including but not limited to short shuttle, 40-yard dash, broad jump, bench press, one-on-one, three-on-three drills and other activities. The tryout will be held indoors on a turf surface, so participants must bring appropriate clothing and shoes (football cleats). Participants should also bring their own mouthpiece.
The Milwaukee Iron have ascended to the highest level of Arena Football as a member of the Arena Football League. Downtown Milwaukee and the Bradley Center will come alive as the Iron play host to legendary AFL teams such as the Iowa Barnstormers, Tampa Bay Storm, Arizona Rattlers, Chicago Rush, Utah Blaze, Cleveland Gladiators, Orlando Predators and more.
Iron season tickets are still available with prices as low as $50 per seat.
