All pre-applicants are required to send a player waiver form and player information form (downloadable from the Harlem Strong Dogs' official website: www.harlemstrongdogs.com) enclosed with NON-REFUNDABLE money orders or certified/bank cashier's checks that should be made payable to Kaizen International, LLC 350 Fifth Avenue Suite 2824, New York, New York 10118.

All registered tryout participants will receive a complimentary Harlem Strong Dogs shirt upon payment.

TRYOUT FEES WILL BE REFUNDED IF PLAYER MAKES OFFICIAL OPENING GAME ROSTER.

Native New Yorker and former Brooklyn Prep, Fordham Ram, Buffalo Brave and Atlanta Hawk of the National Basketball Association (NBA) General Manager and Head Coach Kenny Charles enters his second season at the helm of the Harlem Strong Dogs. Coach Charles and staff will be evaluating players who no longer have collegiate eligibility and are qualified under guidelines to play professional basketball. "This will be a great opportunity of a lifetime for players to demonstrate their professional ability," says Coach Charles.

By the end of the session, over a dozen competitors have been invited back to training camp later in October for another look before finalizing the roster for the opening game in November.

The players who passed the first try out will be exempted from paying the try out fee for this second try out.
