Tryouts and Training camp to be a reality based documentary film

September 3, 2008 - Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL)
New Jersey Revolution News Release


Tryouts, they take place every year as new players vie for a roster spot. The competition is intense. These aren't the days of high school or college, this is the big time, this is the big time (purposely written twice so we make sure your aware that this level is for real). This is no pick up game.....for some their first step at a legitimate shot at the NFL. The NFL where they all want to eventually land. At tryouts you will see all walks of life adorned in such outfits with underarmour logos, nike, adidas etc that will help them "appear the part", definetley nothing wrong with that, but will they perform like it? The film will bring that to the forefront. A reflection and reference to the pile of emails the coaches have received with claims of 4.3 speed by some players, now the clock will reveal if that was the truth! In attendance you will see the highschool superstar, the college all american, the semi pro player who excels on that level and then your everyday arm chair quarterback who knows more about the players they watch on tv then the players know about themselves. The Revs will take you into the depths of what it takes to become a professional football player.....trying to become 1 of only approx 5000 in the the world spread amongst the NFL, CFL,AFL, AF2, CIFL and some other indoor leagues. Imagine after nearly 800 will tryout all pre season your one of the 40 going to camp.

It's a real process, the players attend a tryout, hope to be selected, then attend training camp and after those 3 weeks if they are 100% healthy after a complete assault on every section of their body and mind for that matter and if they havent been cut ......a player just might make the final roster. The Arena game will make you a believer, in a hurry, no not during tryouts but wait til they get to camp......that's if they are selected of course. Competition? Approx 800 apply during all open tryouts, narrow that down to 40 slots for camp, chop that list to 30, then select the 21 for opening day! Oh I can do that make the team that's easy...... then show up to an open tryout, there is your way in. The greatest thing about open tryouts is it ends the talk. The film will interview all 40 final training camp players an inside look at the inner being of each player.

This film will be reality based and chronicle players from the Sept 27th tryout forward and all through training camp. The coaches and staff will also be included in both serious and relaxed moments completely unscripted. The rookies will try to look confident but if that "turk" comes knocking (the cut man) he will surely give them that wake up call and not the one that it's time for practice but the one where their services are no longer needed.

Training camp will be held in February 2009 at Victory Sports Arena some dreams will come true as other dreams will be erased. The film will be released Spring 2009 and will be available in DVD format.
