COLORADO CRUSH TO HOLD OPEN PLAYER TRYOUT FOR FOURTH STRAIGHT YEAR

COLORADO CRUSH TO HOLD OPEN PLAYER TRYOUT FOR FOURTH STRAIGHT YEAR

DENVER - For the fourth consecutive year, the 2005 ArenaBowl Champion Colorado Crush will give football players a chance to earn a spot on its training camp roster when it holds open tryouts on Saturday, December 10 at the South Suburban Sports Dome (6901 S. Peoria, Centennial, CO 80112).

Registration will begin at 6:00am. The registration fee will be $75.00 and is payable in cash or by check only on the day of the tryout. No credit cards will be accepted at that time.

Those who wish to pre-register by filling out and mailing in the pre-registration form (click here) will save $10.00 off the registration fee and can pay with a credit card or a check. Pre-registration will be available until Monday, December 5, 2005. Please do not send any pre-registration forms after this day, as we will not be able to accept them.

Crush head coach Mike Dailey and his staff will be scouting the tryouts in search of the next offensive line or defensive lineman, fullback or linebacker, quarterback, wide receiver or defensive back, who can help the Crush in their quest to repeat as AFL champions. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TRYOUT IS NOT FOR KICKERS.

All attending players must be at least 18 years of age and should come dressed in workout attire with shoes appropriate for an indoor turf field. Before taking the field, all attending players must sign a waiver release form in order to participate.

Each attendee will be put through a series of tests to measure speed, strength and agility. This workout will consist of running a 40-yard dash, and then performing a 20-yard shuttle drill, a standing long jump, a bench press with reps of 225 lbs., and position drills. These tests will be followed by a series of offensive and defensive drills.

"The open tryout is a good way for a player to showcase their talents to us," said Dailey. "Anyone who feels they have the tools to play professional football is encouraged to come and show us what they are all about."

This will be the fourth straight year the Crush have held an open tryout, and success is not unprecedented. Former Crush WR/DB Thal Woods was discovered at an open tryout held prior to the team's inaugural season in 2003 and played parts of three seasons with the team.

That would be fun to show up IMO, just see where you stand an all.

I would get blasted, but still, when would you get an opportunity to do this for a pro sports team!

Meck, if they did this last year, do you know how it went? how many ppl showed up??

No idea. I think the idea of the $75 bucks is to weed out people who are there to waste their time.

Ok let's play this game. Of all the Omane posters who do you think would have the best shot of making the team if they had to pick one guy from here?

I was made to play arena football. Standing 5'7" 155 lbs. I wont be able to try out this year since I'm finishing up HS. But next year, watch out Majik will be sliding into a Crush jersey. With my explosive burst, lightening speed and silky smooth jukes......there is no way they could cut me.




......and that is why Don Majkowski is my hero

Last year the Comcast Channel in Denver actually had an hour long show about the public tryout for the Crush. And I watched the entire damn thing :saywhat: . Lots of people participated that were obviously nowhere near good enough to play flag football let alone professional Arena football.

Doesn't say anything about having to be male.

Will John be there?

You know that's a good question. My guess is he would if he isn't doing anything better at the time but realistically I would think he would wait to see if anyone was worth looking at that caught Dailey's eye first before he wasted his time.

It would be funny to get Disco out there running 40's trying out for the Crush. The digital pics alone would be worth 75 bucks. ROFL!
