LA Galaxy have announced dates for open tryouts for their young

professional team, LA Galaxy II, in an effort to expand their

recruiting pool and discover players for the 2017 USL season.

“We are excited to see new players and have organized this

event to expand our talent identification efforts,” said

LA Galaxy II Head Coach Curt Onalfo. “We want to find young talent

who can enter our organization through Galaxy II, then work their way

up to the first team.  Scouting for Galaxy II gives us a chance to

evaluate many different players: hidden gems that may not have

agents, players without a fair chance in the past, first time pros, or

young pros who are not under contract.  We want to make sure

that everyone has a fair opportunity to be evaluated for a chance

to earn a professional contract on our 2017 LA Galaxy II roster."

The technical staff will choose a minimum of 15 total participants

from the open tryouts in Los Angeles and Las Vegas for further

evaluation. The LA Galaxy will arrange an invitation, flight, hotel

and food for the 15 chosen players, who will train with LA

Galaxy coaches from February 6-10, 2017. 

LA Galaxy will select players from that week of training to

extend their trials with LA Galaxy II, for a chance to earn a

professional contract.
