Lights FC Remains Only Professional Team in History to Guarantee a Roster Spot Each Season to a Player that was Born In, Raised In and/or Attended School in Las Vegas With 11 Such Players Selected in Club’s First 6 Seasons.
December 12, 2023 (Las Vegas, NV) — Separating itself again from other local professional sports teams, Las Vegas Lights FC announced the return of its Open Tryouts for Saturday, January 20th. Open to players of all backgrounds (16 years of age or older), all interested aspiring professional players are encouraged to register at LightsFC.com/Tryout.
This event continues the precedent that Las Vegas Lights FC is the only professional sports team in history to guarantee a local roster spot every season to at least one player who was born in, raised in or attended school in Las Vegas. To date, eleven (11) local players in the first 6 seasons of Lights FC have been on Lights FC’s active roster. The Lights FC’s Home Grown Player program is proudly presented by Nevada State University.
In addition, the Open Tryouts will feature the opportunity for players to potentially receive a professional contract or a United Soccer League Academy contract which is aimed for those players 21 years or younger who have not previously played collegiately or professionally. Players signed to Academy Contracts are still eligible to play college soccer in the future.
“We are proud to partner with Nevada State University for our Homegrown Player program,” said Lights FC Owner & C.E.O. Brett Lashbrook. “Las Vegas is filled with talented players that can compete at the next level — and we look forward to finding some of them to continue our tradition of being the only professional sports team in history to guarantee a local player on our roster!”
