NEW ORLEANS, La. - The New Orleans VooDoo will hold two additional open tryouts for the upcoming 2015 season.
The VooDoo will host its second open tryout on Saturday, December 13 at D1 Birmingham Sports Training Complex, 1651 Independence Ct., Homewood, AL 35209.

Head Coach Dean Cokinos will conduct the workouts and evaluate the players.
"We had great success at our first open tryout in New Orleans," said Head Coach Cokinos. "We will invite several of the attending players from that tryout back for our training camp in 2015. As this is a rebuilding situation, we are expanding our search.
Historically, Birmingham and Nashville and their surrounding areas have produced some quality football players. I have used the D1 facilities on multiple occasions over the years, and we have always found players at those tryouts that were able to come in and contribute to our teams. I am looking forward to these two upcoming workouts."
