A couple of thoughts:

1. Great turnout for the tryouts - I've heard anywhere from 110 to 135.

 

2. Can we get a seperate area/thread (maybe similar to the World Cup)? After all Tennessee now has two teams in the NPSL.

 

3. Talked to the head coach of FC Chattanooga over the weekend - they know Knoxville had a bunch of quality players show up.

Great idea. I'll talk it over with Coach T.

 

We had about 110 come out. Some real quality players!

 

There will be a second try out in April. I will get you the exact date as soon as I can (I just got back from Brazil, so I have been out of touch).

I watched a few minutesof the tryouts. Super organized affair, especially since the total numbers were unknown.

 

Any idea when a schedule will be posted? I know FC Chattanooga's first game is home against us.
