Chicago Sky to hold open tryouts

The Chicago Sky’s head coach and general manager, Pokey Chatman, announced that the team will hold open tryouts in an effort to build the team’s roster for the upcoming season. Under the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement, each team has the opportunity add one additional player to their roster for the 2014 season. Tryouts will be held on Sunday, April 13, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Sachs Recreation Center in Deerfield, Ill.

The open tryouts will be just the second time in franchise history Chatman has given professional basketball hopefuls the opportunity to make her training camp roster. Between the Draft and open tryouts, Chatman will be looking to address the team’s three primary needs: a power forward, a point guard, and a utility player. Assistant Coaches Christie Sides and Tree Rollins will evaluate players alongside Chatman at the tryouts.

The registration fee is $100 (see below for eligibility criteria). All participants will receive a Chicago Sky practice jersey and water bottle.

* To be eligible to attend the Sky Open Tryouts you must meet one of the following criteria:
i) You must have graduated from college or your class must have graduated
ii) You must be at least 20 years old and have two years of professional playing experience prior to attending the Tryout

Space will be limited. Visit www.chicagosky.net to reserve a spot. For more information on the open tryouts, call 866.SKY.WNBA.
