The Washington Valor will hold a free agent open tryout on Oct. 8 at Verizon Center as they launch their inaugural season presented by MedStar Health in 2017. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the combine will take place from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

The team also announced that Athletic Performance Inc. (API), located in Gambrills, Maryland will be the official practice facility of the Washington Valor.

“We are thrilled to have API as a partner for the 2017 season and beyond,” said head coach Dean Cokinos. “This partnership will provide our team and players a first class training facility as well as a top notch strength and conditioning team that will give the Valor a competitive edge in the Arena Football League.”

Cokinos along with his staff will evaluate the players during the workouts. API’s staff will conduct the pro combine portion of the tryouts.

Participants will be able to pre-register online for a $75 entry fee or on the day of the combine for a $100 entry fee. All participants at this year’s tryouts will receive an official Valor free agent combine t-shirt.

The open tryout will feature traditional combine testing drills which include the 40-yard dash, short shuttle and broad jump. Participants will also be placed into individual position and group-specific drills. Players should wear comfortable athletic shorts or sweat pants and a t-shirt. The tryout surface will be astro or field turf, therefore turf shoes or molded bottom cleats are required. No track spikes or removable cleats will be permitted.
