The APVL is planning a Las Vegas Tryout in June, 2007. We would like
to draw players from Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. We will have a site,
but would like to find a point man to help us organize. The
following went out to our mailing list on our recent past events:

We would like to thank all of you that made our May 12th
Tryout/Practice a great success. It was great fun to watching Ryan
Jay Owens (Greece), Andy Tomkinson (UCSB), Brennan Prahler (UCLA),
Donny Harris (UCSB), Mackay Wilson (BYU), Tanner Sutherland
(Pepperdine), and 25 others soar to new heights. It was a great
event that will help grow the American Pro Volleyball League into
something special. Victor Batista (BYU), Casey Patterson (BYU),
Lance Walker (Pepperdine), Scott Faust (UH), Dan Conners (UCLA),
Chris Komer (LBSU), Matt Komer (UCLA) and others are "flying" in on
the 20th for our next event. It should be monstrous! You'll won't
want to miss it.

That's this Sunday, May 20th at Irvine Valley College, in Irvine, CA,
from 8:30 am-2:00 pm and at our new Chicago Area site at Carthage
College, 2000 Alford Park Drive, Kenosha, WI, 53140, from 5pm-8pm..
(For details see articles in our May Issue of Pro Volleyball News).
And, we'll have more throughout 2007, leading to our inaugural 5 team
league in Jan, Feb, and March of 2008. The ultimate goal is to
create a group of 36 players that will become the core of 3 APVL
teams. These 3 teams will play in the inaugural 5 team American Pro
Volleyball League in Jan, Feb, and March of 2008. The other 2 teams
will sponsored by the USA National Training Team. In addition, we
hope to draw AVP players, before and after their tour. As with many
of our events, the 20th will be covered with multiple broadcast
cameras.

These tryout/tourneys are invitation only, and if you can hang with
the best volleyball players in America, let us know by registering on
our website: www.goAPVL.com and we may invite you too. There are a
few slots still open. And we may be coming to a location near you. We
are not prepared to hold an open nationwide tryout yet, as our
organizational efforts are taking all our energies and resources and
are still far from complete, but I've been asked by some of the
players to organize practices and this is what we've come up with.
Also, we have updated our May Pro Volleyball News online newsletter.
Please go to our site: www.goAPVL.com and check it out for more
details about the APVL. We will keep updating weekly as more
information becomes available. We consider it a work in progress.

Thanks again,
