The Houston Dynamo announced Thursday that due to overwhelming demand, the 2008 Dynamo Trials, presented by LALA and held in partnership with Univision 45 and TeleFutura 67, have been capped at 300 participants. Registration has closed for the fitness and skills tests, which will be held April 19 at Plex in Stafford, Texas.
Players will first be tested on their fitness level. Those passing the fitness test will take part in a soccer skills test. Those passing the soccer skills test will be invited back to train and play with the Dynamo Academy under the watchful eyes of the Dynamo technical staff. If a player demonstrates the professional skill and ability to play for the Houston Dynamo, he will be invited into first-team training camp with the chance of signing a professional contract.
Players can get details of the fitness and skills test through a video demonstration on www.houstondynamo.com. Players may also prepare for the trials by taking part in a special pre-test training session that is being offered by Plex.
