Football: FC Bascome Bermuda To Host Tryouts
The FC Bascome Bermuda football team — which is set to play in the USL League Two — will be holding tryouts this coming weekend, starting on Friday, August 7th, at the Goose Gosling field at BAA.
A spokesperson said, “FC Bascome Bermuda are holding open tryouts this coming weekend, starting on Friday 7th August at Goose Gosling field [BAA] for players wishing to join FC Bascome Bermuda USL2 team for 2021 season.
“Try out times are:
- Friday 7th August 6pm-7.30pm
- Saturday 8th August 9.30am-11am
- Sunday 9th August 9am-10.30am
“Despite the late notice of this invite, we encourage all players interested in trying out for the USL League Two to attend this Friday August 7th and subject to numbers, may not be required to attend all 3 sessions as Coaches may breakdown players into positional groups. Please can all players wear all white kit and bring water. Training will start next week, Monday and Wednesday evenings.
“Our final team will primarily consist of players age 17 to 23. However, the tryouts are open to all players aged 16, who turn 17 by May 1st 2021, and up to age 25 as of today, as we are allowed to carry a number of overaged players.
“All players are required to register prior to attending tryout sessions or at the field on Friday from 5.30pm. More information on registration can be found here.
“The USL League Two, formerly the Premier Development League, is the leader in pre professional football in the US and Canada. The League holds a vital role to provide a pathway for players to progress to the professional ranks. In 2018, 81% of players taken in the MLS SuperDraft came from the ULS League Two.
“The impact of this is not only the significant opportunities for FC Bascome Bermuda USL2 players but for the long term benefits for the local game to prosper and Bermuda as a whole as we enter the international stage.
“Subject to further COVID restrictions and effects, the 2021 season is scheduled to commence early May 2021 and finish by mid July, and there will be 7 games played in Bermuda and 7 games overseas.
“Our Coaches are seeking players that are committed to the game and want to pursue the game at the highest level with the dream of taking the next step to playing professionally internationally.
