Utah Flash to Hold Local Player Tryouts
Tryout Dates Set for Sept. 29 at the Open Court in Lehi

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 4, 2007 – In an effort to find that diamond in the rough and determined to leave no stone unturned, Utah Flash general manager David Fredman and head coach Brad Jones have scheduled an open player tryout for Sept. 29 at Open Court in Lehi.

Players should arrive at Open Court, 11541 North Frontage Road in Lehi (I-15 Exit 284) by noon MT. Workouts over four courts begin at 12:30 p.m. and run through the afternoon. Players will be put through drills to test their skills and conditioning prior to dividing into teams for several games.

“If I’ve learned one thing in all my years in professional basketball, it’s that you never pass on an opportunity to see someone play and evaluate their capabilities,” Fredman said. “We do our best to see as many players as possible and this tryout is another vehicle to help us evaluate even more players.”

With NBA Development League approval, at least one player from the open tryout can be selected for an opportunity to make the Flash roster by participating in the team’s training camp in early November. Fredman and Jones will bring 17 players to camp as preparations continue for the Flash’s inaugural season.

Players interested in tryouts need to complete a registration form, player disclosure form and player release and eligibility form. Each player should be ready to remit a cashier’s check for $150 made payable to G Code Hoops prior to taking the court on the day of the tryout. Forms are available online at utahflash.com.
