Soul to host open tryout on Oct. 22

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Soul will hold an open player tryout  on Saturday, October 22 at the Philadelphia Eagles' NovaCare Complex located at One NovaCare Way, Philadelphia.  Soul head coach Doug Plank and general manager Tom Goodhines will be evaluating all players in attendance.  No Kickers will be evaluated at this tryout.

The Soul found three players – Nyere Aumaitre, Jerome Hayes and Keith Stokes – that became starters from last year’s open tryout.

All participants can pre-register before Friday, October 21 at www.philadelphiasoul.com.  The cost of the tryout is $60 for those who pre-register and $80 at the door by cash, money order or certified funds only.  A t-shirt will be included in the cost and all fees are non-refundable.

On the day of the tryout, registration will begin at 8 a.m., with stretching starting promptly at 9 a.m.

Players will be tested on their 40-yard time, broad jump and short shuttle with other position-specific drills and one-on-ones to follow.  Please bring appropriate workout gear and shoes/cleats.  Testing will take place on field turf – no metal cleats are permitted.  A trainer will be on hand for emergencies only – not for player taping.
