Women’s grid league schedules tryouts here
 

The National Women’s Football Association is considering the Charleston area as a site for a new franchise.

The association, which has about 35 teams nationally, has scheduled tryouts for Oct. 7, 14 and 28 at the Martin Luther King Community Center from 2 to 5 p.m.

“I can’t promise you we’ll put a team there,’’ said Debbie Lening, vice president of the NWFA, “but if there’s enough interest and we can find coaches, we’ll do it.’’

Players must be 18 and over and are required to pay a one-time $35 tryout fee. They also must show proof of insurance and proof of identification.

The league begins play in April and runs through July.
