MLS Team Hold Open Try-Outs

It's not too late. Toronto FC, the new Major League Soccer franchise, is holding open tryouts for players who think they've got what it takes to go pro. "This is a great opportunity for players to make us aware of their skills and to try to earn a spot with Toronto FC," head coach Mo Johnston said in a release.

Tryouts are open to players 14 and over, and will be held Dec. 18-22 at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan. The tryouts are limited to the first 1,000 people who register online at www.torontofc.ca. Cost to register is $110 plus $5 handling fee, which includes a t-shirt and pair of tickets to a Toronto FC match.

The team joined the MLS on May 11, 2006 as its 13th team and first to play outside the U.S. Toronto FC will begin play next spring out of the new 20,000 seat BMO Field at Exhibition Place.

Meanwhile, a special silver ball made by Major League Soccer's official equipment sponsor, adidas, will be used on Sunday at MLS Cup 2006 (3:30 p.m. ET; ABC) as the New England Revolution face Houston Dynamo at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas, for the league championship. The "+Teamgeist Winner MLS Ball" will then be used for the duration of the 2007 home season by the side that emerges victorious, serving as a symbolic reminder to visiting teams that they are facing the best in the league.

[Zewdu Abebe]

I am 22 years of old and a senior college student. I have been playing soccer ever since I was 7. I live for soccer and soccer means everything to me. I went to high school in Ghana and played for my high school the entire time I was there. I am currently in the U.S and have been playing for my college for 3 years and going into my final year. Last season, I was name in the all conference team, which consists if the 14 best players of the season.

I would give up anything for soccer and I would love a chance to tryout for any MLS team.

I am a natural defender, could play anywhere in the back four but I prefer central or right back. I have played as a winger, midfielder and also as a forward at some point for my college.

I work out a lot and work with the ball 3 times a week. I am 5'10 and 165 lbs. Please let me know how I can get a tryout.

my phone is 415-690-6616 and email: muletaz@berea.edu

Thank you.
