Valley Trojans to Co-Host First Ever Professional/Minor League Football Tryouts
The Valley Trojans and Central Valley Coyotes will co-host the first ever Minor League Football/Professional tryouts and combine.
Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- On Saturday January 24th the Valley Trojans, a minor league football organization in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, CA. will co-host the first ever joint tryouts between a minor league football team and a professional football organization. The Central Valley Coyotes of the Arena Football League 2 will team up with the Trojans.
The Coyotes are preparing for their 2009 camps and are looking for new talent in a place that a lot of people may know little about. Minor league football, also known as Semi-Pro football, has been around for many years all over the United States. The minor league level of football has never received much media attention, although there are hundreds of teams nationwide that provide players with an opportunity to develop their skills as they prepare to move up to some of the professional leagues.
The Coyotes have recognized that there is a large amount of good talent within the ranks of minor league football, and in partnering up with the Valley Trojans; they look to tap into a resource that has, to this point, been relatively untouched.
The Valley Trojans play in the Labelle Community Football League (LCFL); the league is name after Patti Labelle. The LCFL has a east and a west coast league. In the west, where the Trojans play, there were 26 teams that started the 2008 season, and with an average roster size in the ballpark of about 40 players, there are over 1000 football players. The LCFL West is predominately comprised of teams in Southern California, with a few teams in the Central California area, and one team from Las Vegas. With this amount of athletes in just one league, it is easy to see why the Coyotes are looking to tap into these resources.
The Coyotes are an arena football organization, and the Valley Trojans play traditional 11-man football, but many of the players are familiar with both forms of the game. Players can adapt to the different styles rather seamlessly, as there are many that play in arena football leagues during their season in the Spring/Summer, then head back to their minor league team for the Fall/Winter season.
The tryouts are open to all players. Anyone interested in participating can get more information at www.cvcoyotes.com or www.valleytrojans.org. This historic paring of pro/semi-pro tryouts should prove to be a big success for both teams, both leagues and for all the players looking to continue playing the sport they love.
Tryout information:
Saturday, January 24th, 2009
Ribet Academy, 2911 San Fernando Rd., Los Angeles, CA 90065
