San Diego
Spirit head coach Carlos Juarez and his staff to evaluate 20 players
this weekend at an invitation-only local tryout with the goal of
selecting three-to-four players to attend the Spirit Pre-Season
Training Camp that begins on March1.
The camp will
run Friday through Sunday at the ARCO Olympic Training Center with
practice sessions and scrimmages planned for Juarez to get one last
look at potential talent before he starts pre-season training.
Former stars
from San Diego State, the University of San Diego, the University
of California-San Diego, Arizona State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo,
Cal Poly Pomona, the University of New Mexico, UC Irvine, UCLA,
the University of Portland, BYU and Colorado College will be among
those trying out.
Juarez currently
has 24 players on his pre-season roster and is allowed to begin
official pre-season training on March 1 with 28. He will train that
group of 28 players until March 18, when he will cut at least four
players, and perhaps as many as eight. Juarez is allowed to enter
WUSA Pre-Season Training Camp at the OTC on March 21 with a maximum
of 24 players, but as few as 20.
The WUSA will hold a waiver draft on March 20, as any players released
by their teams will be eligible to be picked up by another WUSA
team.
On April 1,
Juarez will pare his roster down to the final 20 players in preparation
for the season opening game.
