Venom to hold tryout

June 16, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Las Vegas Venom News Release


Las Vegas, NV --The new Las Vegas entry in the American Basketball Association will hold their first Open Tryout on Saturday, July 8th. The team is looking for talented, motivated and responsible players to fill out their 12 man roster.

Dan Savage, GM of the new Vegas team, talked about he is looking for at this try-out. "I am excited to see what kind of talent we have here on the west coast". Savage continued, "When we held our open try-outs in Boston 2 years ago, we found 9 of our 12 players during a single try-out. Most of which played at major division 1 schools in the area. But, we also found some small town players that could flat out play at this level. This will be a super opportunity for the unsigned, unknown player to make a name for themselves".

Candidates must be 18 years of age and out of high school. Participation in the open tryouts may jeopardize a players' NCAA eligibility. If you have any question about NCAA eligibility, please consult with your coach. Players should wear appropriate shoes and clothing and come ready to compete. Registration is required and all fees are non-refundable. The cost of the tryout is $75 in advance and is due by June 30. The fee for walk-ins is $100.

Date: Saturday July 8, 2006

Location: Christ the King Gymnasium, 4925 South Torrey Pines Drive Ave, Las Vegas, NV

Time: Doors open at 9:00am; Tryouts will run from 10:00am - 2:00pm
