Alabama Steeldogs News Release
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Birmingham Steeldogs are searching for a few good men.
On Sunday, Nov. 13 at Seibert Stadium on the campus of Samford University, the Steeldogs will host the first of several open tryout camps preceding the start of the team's historic seventh season. Registration will begin at 11:00 a.m. with drills commencing at 12:00 p.m. A registration form will be available by Monday, Oct. 31 on the Steeldogs' Official Web site, Steeldogs.com.
"Historically, these free agent tryout camps have been a valuable resource for the teams I've coached," Steeldogs Head Coach Ron Selesky said. "I've been fortunate to find some very good players at our tryouts over the years. With this being one of the most talent-laden parts of the country, I am confident that we can find several players that can contribute to our success in 2006."
Participants can pre-register by downloading and printing the Web site form, filling it out and faxing it to the team's front office. The cost of registration for pre-registrants will be $40, while those who register the day of the tryout will be charged $50. Acceptable methods of payment include cash and money orders; no personal checks will be accepted. Credit cards will only be accepted from those who pre-register; none will be accepted on the day of the tryout. The Steeldogs' fax number is 205.458.8489.
Players will be evaluated in the 40-yard dash, the NFL short shuttle, the standing long jump and other position-specific drills.
Seibert Stadium employs a FieldTurf surface, so players will be required to bring turf shoes or grass cleats. No metal spikes are allowed. Samford University is located off of Lakeshore Drive in southern Jefferson County. From I-65 take the Lakeshore Drive exit and follow the signs to Samford University.
