Lehigh Valley Steelhawks News Release


Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks professional indoor football team will be holding their first open tryout for the 2012 season on September 17, 2011, 12-4pm, at BucksMont Indoor Sports Complex, the official practice facility for the Steelhawks.

If you think you have what it takes to make it as a professional indoor football player, come on out to show us what you got. The Steelhawk coaching staff will be using a variety of exercises to work the players out which include:

* Eight-on-Eight Play

* Offensive & Defensive Drills

"We are excited to begin the process of evaluating talent for the 2012 season," stated Head Coach Rich Britt. "There are many spots to be won on this team as we strive to bring a winner to the Lehigh Valley. We are looking for a few diamonds in the rough to come out and help contribute on this team next season. Last year we signed more guys out of open tryouts then anyone else in the league, which just shows the amount of talent in this area. We hope to find a few more here at this tryout to add to our training camp roster."
