Atlanta Silverbacks on the hunt for new soccer talent

The Atlanta Silverbacks are on the hunt for some new soccer talent for the 2013 season. Atlanta's own NASL soccer team is looking to add to the squad's quality and will hold four combine workout sessions to assess new playing talent. Prospective players are encouraged to participate in at least one of the two-day events held over the next few months.

As an indicator of just how seriously the Silverbacks are looking at the new season they are holding combine events outside of the state. With one in California and one in England, the Silverbacks are determined to find some good talent to supplement the players already on the roster.

Silverbacks Head Coach, Brian Haynes, and Eric Wynalda, advisor to the Silverbacks, will attend each of the U.S based combines to evaluate any players while Coach Haynes will work with several European based soccer organizations to assess the talent at the combine in England.

The actual locations and dates of the combines are:
December 7-9 at Accrington and Rossendale College (Lancashire, England)
December 13-14 at Atlanta Silverbacks Park (Atlanta, GA)
January 5-6 at Atlanta Silverbacks Park (Atlanta, GA)
January 26-27 at Newbury Park High School (Thousand Oaks, CA)

This is not a new initiative for the Silverbacks. Over the last two years they have identified some great talent including current Silverbacks goalkeeper, Joe Nasco.

Interested players should be at least 18 years old and should go to the Silverbacks website for more information about registration.
