TAMPA BAY - Pre-registration for the February 11 Tampa Bay Storm open tryout camp will end at 5:00 PM Friday, February 3. The tryout camp will take place at Skyway Park (Tampa, FL) on Saturday, February 11. Registration will begin at 8:00 AM and testing will start promptly at 9:00 AM.

"We are excited to see the talent at the camp," said vice president of football operations Jeff Gooch. "Our goal is to have quality players, not quantity at the camp. We are very pleased with the response we have had up to this point and have decided to close pre-registration early to ensure we get a good look at each player to fully evaluate their strengths and weaknesses."

This one-day tryout is open to interested players. All participants are competing to earn the opportunity to sign a professional contract with the Storm. Former open tryout players include Hank Edwards, Michael Lindsey, as well as, former Storm greats and AFL Hall of Famers Stevie Thomas and George LaFrance.

The camp will be directed by head coach Dave Ewart. The coaching staff will evaluate players in combine exercises as well as have their height weight and wing span recorded. Immediately following the testing participants will participate in position and one-on-one drills.

Interested players are encouraged to pre-register at www.tampabaystorm.com . Payment is $60 for those who register early and on-line. Pre-registration ends at 5:00 PM on Friday, February 3.

Players can also register at Skyway Park the morning of the open tryout. Payment is $70 for those that register the day of the open tryout. Payment must be made by cash or money order.
