I agree with your post "glover" he (your highlighted player) certainly LOOKED "the part" at Tryouts. We look forward to him representing Tennessee in this game.

Great and congrats on him being selected!! Yeah we feel both teams should be really strong (especially the 8th Grade) they had alot more to choose from. Kentucky had great turnout at their Tryouts so we expect them to be pretty stout. Should be interesting.... I've been too Tryouts in 7 states (8 states this weekend in South Carolina) and our talent at least in t-shirts and shorts looks no different than any other state. Our (Tennessee) OL / DL tryout #'s are triple what every other state is.

There posted now! I can't provide the link b/c the site won't let me. Look on Football Tech Camps dot com under the link Future Stars and you can see them there. Selections and Testing Times.

Yes much deeper talent pool tried out this year meaning several good players were left off the list b/c of limitations. Saw some GREAT talent at both locations. Some H.S. programs (too many too list) are going to be getting some outstanding players soon. Pretty much every area of state covered except Memphis (no one tried out from there) but even Northwest Tenn has some representation: Union City, Paris (Henry Co) and Martin. Going to be alot of fun! Come support the "future" June 11 at Carson Newman College. To view the rosters look on Football Tech Camps dot com website (Future Stars link).

2011 Tennessee Future Stars rosters and combine stats are posted online (info below). Come out catch a glimpse of the "future" June 11 to support the boys in the big game versus Kentucky's Future Stars. The game will be at Carson Newman College. More than 300 kids tried out statewide only 90 were selected! The selections were tough (especially in the 8th Grade). View Rosters at Football Tech Camps dot com under the link "Future Stars"

Last year we took nominations from coaches but they didn't carry any weight when selecting the team, the teams were picked by the "Evaluator" at Tryouts of that position. The "Evaluators" had no clue who was nominated and who wasn't. Only the director knew who was nominated; there were several "non" nominated kids who made the team last year. Many of last years Future stars went on and started Varsity at their respective high school this past fall. This year we didn't take nominations, no reason as to why just didn't do it!

It was an Open Tryout last year as well! Some coaches just choose not to let all their players know. The teams haven't been selected yet we have the Middle / West Tenn Tryout this weekend in Nashville @ David Lipscomb High School. If you know a current 7th and/or 8th Grade athlete tell him to come out and give it a shot! He'll have a good time! And if he's fortunate enough to be selected then he'll have a football experience to remember forever in (June). Cost is $30 and they can sign-up up Sat in person. 7th Grade 11am 8th Grade 12 (noon) 2011 Promo Video:

Great turnout this past Sat at Powell High! If you weren't there hate you missed it! Next (and last) opportunity to Tryout for Tennessee Future Stars is this Sat at David Lipscomb High School. 7th Grade Check-In 11am 8th Grade Check-In 12 (noon) Cost is $30 per athlete and includes Future Stars T-Shirt. ALL athletes will participate in on-field drills and in mini style Combine. You can sign-up in person Sat. See you there! Come to learn, compete, get noticed and have fun!!!

Unfortunately I have the sun burn to prove it as well! GREAT turnout! Good to see some much talent gathered at one venue. All in all great day! Athletes had a good time! Picking the team will be a chore to say the least but will be fun to watch TENN Future Stars take it to KY June 11. Next up is the Middle / West TN Tryout make sure you're not out done by the East who came out in waves. Please inform any current 7th & 8th Grade athlete about the upcoming Open Tryout this Sat @ David Lipscomb High School (you can sign-up in person) Cost is $30. 7th Grade Check-In 11am 8th Grade Check-In 12 (noon) We had four athletes run 4.7 (40). Will post names later this week! Athletes ran 40 on natural grass in cleats and was timed "Electronically" - very impressive.

Yes! The game will be June 11. We're in final stages of securing Carson Newman College as game site. Last years game (in Louisville, Ky) drew a large crowd with 1/2 of the attendance being from Tennessee. KY Future stars just completed there Tryouts last weekend they had double the #'s this year so they're expecting to field much better teams. If you know a 7th and/or 8th Grade athlete make sure you encourage them to attend one of our two Tryouts.

Inviting ALL 7th & 8th Graders (today in school) to Future Stars Open Tryouts. Last year was a HUGE success! Many Future Stars went on and started Varsity as 9th Graders at their respective school (three started in state title games) George Porter (Chatt Baylor RB) Shawn Prevo (Maryville RB) and Todd Kelly Jr. (Knox Webb FS). The Open Tryout is a great way for the athletes to learn, compete, get noticed and have fun! Its a great way for athletes to "see where they measure up". We have a very diverse mix of coaches and ex Vols/Pro Players leading the Tryout. We invite ANYONE to attend to get a glimpse of the Future Stars in our state. The selected players are treated like young stars as they report and stay on a college campus for four days, they attend events and hear various guest speakers throughout the week and cap it all off with the game (June 11). Take a look below at some of last years highlights. At Tryouts each participant will go thru a variety of position drills, 1-ON-1's and mini pro style Combine. Here are Tryout Dates and locations East Tenn Powell High School April 23; Middle/West Tenn David Lipscomb High School April 30. Athletes CAN register in person day of Tryout; Cost is $30 includes Combine Stats, Future Stars T-Shirt and good football workout.

Every city has a tourism group ours is called KTSC; there jobs are to bring events to town; events that attract "outsiders" not locals. Our event is considered "city wide impact" in the tourism world. Just like the Super Bowl (ours don't even get close to that obviously), cities bid on these events trying to bring them to there respective city b/c "events" generate dollars for local businesses which in turn pays taxes to city/county off business they generate. Events is one major thing that helps keep local taxes from rising so rapidly. My facts are always straight b/c when your honest and do things the right way you have no worries of covering tracks. As far as the T$$AA I could care less - I'm not affliated w/ them in any manner. I don't teach, I don't coach in a T$$AA affliated program so they have nothing on me. They can call me all they want and what they want but at end of day they have nothing over me or on me b/c I do nothing wrong. Keep doing good in your community and I'll keep doing good in mine. I can pocket as much as I want since it is my event!! Thats like asking how much of your coaching supplement do you pocket. I can tell you that not only do businesses profit off our events but so do area high school athletic departments who help host the event at there school - so theres many winners off the event (too many to name). But u would be surprised at the outgoing expense of an event this large I'll say that and no more! The tournament is about the kids (the money off it sure isn't worth it) u have NO idea how much planning and prepping it takes to host the biggest youth football tournment in the Country!! How many guys would waive over $5,000 in entry fees to local teams every August - guess what I do. I could charge $500 per team and still end up with close to as many teams as we get now b/c we put on a quality event. But since I'm not greedy we keep our entry fee very affordable and free to local teams - man I'm such a bad guy huh. Lastly, I know more than just the "locals". Keep throwing the stones "Coach Cat" enjoy your 4th...

I live in reality everyday!! I'm not sure what empire your speaking of but I know I do things right so I sleep just fine each night. I wasn't needing a pat on back but thanks anyway, I was trying to prove to you that theres much more to the tournament than just a weekend of football - I did'nt know any other way to do it over a computer message board, to be honest P & R didn't want the tournament few years back but they were policitically forced too by above officials b/c the event is such an ecomonic boost for the community; now they support it.. Other cities approach us all the time about re-locating the event (only b/c the ecominic impact is so strong) it produces more $$ impact to the city than TSSAA Spring Fling & State Championship Games do.. I could shift event to Chatt, Murfreesboro, Nashville, etc tomorrow and it be just as successful. I've flirted w/ idea many times but never pulled trigger. Thats great there playing in it; they will be better for playing in it, as u know u get better by playing better competition. The 13/14 y/o division will be as deep and talented as its ever been at my tourney; u will see some future SEC players to say the least. We have 2 HUGE National All-Star Games directors are coming to scout talent at the tournament maybe one of the Central kids will get selected - there alot of fun and some great exposure!!! Let me know day or two before tourney and I'll get u a pass save u a few dollars. Yes I heard Pilot had some teams fold too; I haven't heard from a credible source yet but I have had rumblings. I could care less what they do; all I worry about is my team, I never worry about an opponent. An old wise man told me many years ago "prepare your team; don't worry about the others". We don't even film nor scout our opponents; sounds stupid I know but we don't.
