NEPA Miners hold open tryouts Mar. 23

Season seven for the NEPA Miners is building momentum as the June 15 home opener at Scranton Memorial Stadium approaches.

But before the NEPA Miners can hit the gridiron, off season work has to be completed, including the Miners first Combine and Tryout March 23 at the Riverfront Sports Complex.

Registration is open between 12 to 1 p.m., with the Combine running from 1 to 4 p.m.

The NEPA Miners are coming off of a 9-3 season. Head coach Darrin McDowell expects to see top talent from NEPA and beyond trying out to be a part of the Miners organization.

The tryout March 23 will include a $40 fee for new players, $10 for 2012 return players.

The Miners request serious players only.

Drills will include a 40- yard dash, Pro Shuttle, 3 Cone Drill and Bench Press.

Also individual position drills, one on ones and seven on seven sessions will take place.
