Grand Rapids Rampage News Release
Grand Rapids, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League will host a player tryout for the upcoming 2003 season on Saturday, Dec. 7 in Orlando, Fla.
The tryout will be held at the University of Central Florida's northeast football practice field, located immediately behind UCF Arena. Registration, which carries a $50 fee (no checks accepted), begins at 9 a.m. and the tryout will run from 11 to 3 p.m. Cleats are recommended for the grass surface.
The tryout will feature complete combine drills, including the 40-yard dash, shuttle run, broad jump and bench press. In addition, each player will be evaluated in drills specific to position. For directions to the tryout or for more information, contact the Rampage player personnel department at (616) 975-7708 ext. 13.
"We are still looking for a few players that we can give an opportunity to make our team in training camp," said Robert Smith, Rampage assistant head coach and director of player personnel. "With the chance of losing players to free agency, we are always trying to fill in the gaps and upgrade our team. We will be signing a few players from our Texas tryout, and hopefully we can do the same in Florida."
