CanAm: Canadian Tryout Camp

Tuesday, January 15
Canadian Players Tryout Camp
CanAm Bowl Tryouts will be held at the Hilltop Clubhouse facility in Saskatoon on May 11th 2008. Full equipment is required along with a completed registration / medical form (handout section of this website). Check back for times and practice plans as the date approaches. Also check the map for directions to the Hilltop clubhouse.

Tryout Camp Details

Players need to bring.
1. All equipment (insure the helmet has air etc.)
2. Towels, shower stuff, etc.
3. Offensive players wear white or light
4. Defensive players wear dark
5 All missing information from your registration (see attached list)
6. Positive attitude and hard work ethic

Players who do not submit a player profile or registration fee will not be selected. If you did not send us a picture, we will take it at the camp. A profile should contain stats, interests, future plans and awards (who you are?).   

Please, let me know if I have missed anyone from your school. It would be a mistake that we would like to correct before camp, so let us know ASAP.

Check the website for details on the game and preparation week. It is updated often.

Thanks and good luck, see you Sunday.
