Austin Turfcats News Release
AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Turfcats announced today that they have scheduled a second free agent combine for the 2010 season to be held on Saturday, January 16, 2010. The combine will be held at the McMaster Athletic Complex in Georgetown, located at 101 W.L. Walden Drive. The camp will be under the direction of Turfcats Head Coach Chris Duliban and his coaching staff, with combine testing equipment and assistance being provided by the HIT Center of Austin.
The camp format will consist of a variety of physical tests, including the 40 yard dash, 20 yard shuttle and the standing long jump. Participants will be timed and measured in all of these events. After an evaluation of each participant's times and scores, the group will be reduced to a number of individuals who will be asked to participate in select physical drills. Another evaluation will leave the remaining to participate in skill drills which are related to indoor football. There will not be any contact drills.
The cost of the camp is $60 cash per individual; those who pre-register and pay via credit card at Turfcats.com will receive a discounted rate of $50. Registration begins at 10:30am and ends promptly at 11:30am. A thirty minute period of supervised warm-up drills will follow. Testing will begin at 12:00 noon and last until approximately 1:45pm.
The camp is open to anyone who is physically able to perform the drills, and has completed or will forego their remaining NCAA college eligibility. A waiver and release form must be signed by all participants stating that they are physically able to participate and will not hold the Austin Turfcats or any of its partners in the tryout liable for any injury suffered during the camp.
Participants need to provide their own workout attire. Shorts and t-shirts along with turf or tennis shoes are recommended for the camps. Rubber molded football cleats no longer than one half inch will be permitted for tryouts. Metal football cleats are absolutely forbidden and anyone wearing them will not be allowed to participate. Participation in the free agent combine is not an offer of employment, but merely an evaluation. The Austin Turfcats are not responsible for travel or lodging expenses, and food will not be provided.
