Southeast Texas Mustangs To Host Tryout Camp
October 7, 2008 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Beaumont, TX. The ABA Southeast Texas Mustangs will hold its first Free-Agent Tryout Camp on Saturday and Sunday, October 25-26, 2008 at the Milton YMCA at 3455 Sarah Street in Beaumont, TX 77705.
The camp will give players an opportunity to show their stuff (so to speak) to the Mustangs coaching staff. Players are encouraged to showcase their skills at this camp.
Registration/Check-in will be from 9am to 945am. The camp will consist of two sessions on Saturday with Session 1 being from 10 to 1130am and Session 2 from 1-4pm. Sunday will consist of one session from 1pm to 4pm. ALL the camp sessions are open to the public and media.
The cost for the Tryout Camp will be $125 if you pay in advance or $150 if you pay the day of the camp. Cash or Money Orders will only be accepted for payment (no personal checks).
Mustangs GM and Head Coach Steve Tucker sees these camps as being a valuable tool in putting a team together. "Over the years I've found numerous players in these types of camps," said Tucker. "We are serious about giving players a legitimate opportunity to showcase their skills. In some cases players are just not good enough to play on this level and have a false illusion that they are that good, but in other cases players have the talent and skill level, and need a platform to showcase their skills. That is why we hold these camps to hopefully find those kind of players. In 2004, when I was with the Texas Tycoons in 2004, we had seven players make our final roster that we found in tryout camps. I think that says we're really serious about giving players a chance to play on this level."
