The tryout, which is open to players not currently enrolled in college or who have exhausted their eligibility, will be similar in format to Standard Football Combine standards. The day-long session will begin with registration at 8 a.m. and workouts starting promptly at 9 a.m. The SaberCats practice facility is located at 1095 Dunford Way, Sunnyvale, 94086.
Interested participants are encouraged to pre-register on the SaberCats official website www.sanjosesabercats.com at a cost of $65. A fee of $75 will be charged on the day of the tryout payable by cash or money order, and a waiver release form will need to be signed.
All players will be weighed and measured, followed by tests in the 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle, broadjump and 225-pound bench press. In addition, participants will take part in a series of position specific drills and one-on-ones.
SaberCats' head coach Darren Arbet and his staff will evaluate all players attending.
