Try-outs success as local hopefuls turn out in droves in Baton Rouge

Over sixty young hopefuls - seeking to develop a career in soccer - showed up at Burbank Sports Complex in Baton Rouge for the first of a series of try-outs to make the cut for the Baton Rouge Capitals’ squad for the 2010 season.

“We are delighted with the turnout,” said an excited coach Stuart Hayers. “This proves that Baton Rouge and Southern Louisiana is a hotbed of soccer. We had some very skilled players out there and it is going to be very difficult to single out the players who we decide will make the cut.”

General Manager Ben Callon added: “We want be be known throughout the league and throughout the region as the club that gives local youngsters every opportunity to make the grade. Hopefully, some of these will eventually become professional players in the Major Leagues, and it is very gratifying to know that Capitals will have played its part.”
