The
Alabama Hammers will hold a free agent open tryout on Saturday,
February 16th at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL to launch the
start of their 2013 Professional Indoor Football League campaign.
This
tryout will be the last by the Hammers and recently hired Head Coach
Dean Cokinos, who returns to Huntsville (where he won af2 championship
with the Tennessee Valley Vipers of the af2) after a two year stint as
the head man for the Georgia Force of the AFL. Cokinos has a strong
reputation for finding and developing players. He has helped dozens of
players move up to the NFL and CFL ranks while serving as a coach in the
AFL and af2, as well as working in player personnel evaluating
arena/indoor players for the Tennessee Titans. "We're in a talent rich
region and hope to find some quality players who can contribute to our
organization. We want tough, hardworking players and this will be one
more chance for potential candidates to showcase their abilities. We are
looking to sign a few more players heading into camp." said Cokinos.
