Columbus Lions News Release
(COLUMBUS)- The Columbus Lions are pleased to announce that they will be holding a tryout Saturday October 10th at the Adamsville Park football field in Atlanta, GA. This will mark the first open tryout leading into the Lions 2010 season.
Registration will begin at 9:00 AM and the tryout will begin promptly at 10:00 AM. Participants should pre-register online at www.columbuslions.net by clicking on the tryout link on the home page. The pre-registration fee is $40.00 and should be in the form of a check or money order and mailed to the Lions office at 400 4th Street, Columbus, GA 31901. Registration the day of the tryout will be $55.00 and will only be accepted in the form of cash or money order (no checks will be accepted).
Participants should wear athletic shorts, tennis shoes or cleats for a field turf grass surface. No metal cleats will be permitted. T-shirts will be provided by the Lions to all participants.
The Lions finished the 2009 season 12-4 and were the Southern Division Champions. They head into 2010 returning two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Damian Daniels, who was discovered at an open tryout. "These tryouts are a great way to discover new talent," said Head Coach Jason Gibson, "Atlanta is a hot bed for football talent which led us to the area." Gibson hopes to sign a few players based on the talent level. "With Columbus being 90 miles from Atlanta and the success I had this past season signing players that lived in Atlanta like Carlos Martinez, Troy Bergeron, and Eric Johnson, holding a tryout up there is a no brainer."
The tryout will be held at:
Adamsville Park Football Field
