Want to Play for the Galaxy? Of Course You Do

By: Laurie | January 13th, 2008

Guess what, boys and girls?

Or…well…boys.

You know you meant to do this last year but didn’t get around to it, right? Well, you’re getting another chance. You, yes, you, can play for the Galaxy.?* (Register here.)

Open tryouts are scheduled this year for Feb. 9-12.

This year’s tryout will again be open to male players 18 years of age or older who believe that they can perform at the MLS level. Galaxy Director of Soccer Paul Bravo, along with former Galaxy assistant coach Ralph Perez and select other Galaxy approved assessors, will oversee the trials.

Similar to last year, applications for the event can be found at www.lagalaxy.com and space is again very limited. Registration costs $150 and all applicants must have a valid email address so that the club can communicate with them in advance of the tryout.

College players with any eligibility remaining are not permitted to participate in the tryout per NCAA rules and regulations, while current professional players must have a letter of release from their current club.

As I said last year, I would SO do this myself except that I’m a) female, b) old, and c) can’t play soccer. So instead I am hoping to live vicariously through you. My dream would be for a Galaxy Offside reader to do this and give us an exclusive report.

How about it guys? Anybody want to make my dream come true?

*Provided you fork over your $150 and pass the tryout. Piece of cake, right?

  Ah, I’d do it for ya Laurie except that I, too, am female and too old. I play soccer though. I’ve got the knee surgeries to prove it! I have always wanted to play professional soccer though.

  Damn, dave you beat me to it. Ruiz for a full alocation (probably the 2007 you suck allocation) and a 2009 3rd round draft pick per Ives.

  Dave, did RBNY want Ruiz? Seriously? Because if so I’ll throw everything I can into brokering the deal.

  Spoogo, you’ll have to keep us informed of what it’s like and how it goes, okay?
