Why Women's Tackle Football?

Women’s tackle football is more than just a sport; it’s a community and a celebration of athleticism. The Tennessee Trojans focus on giving women the chance to play competitively at the highest level of women's tackle football in the world. This tryout is a valuable step toward that opportunity.

Football, often viewed as a male-dominated sport, is undergoing a transformation. According to a survey by Sports and Fitness Industry Association, women's participation in football has increased by 26 percent in the last five years. Women are breaking barriers and proving they excel on the field. This tryout is not just about showcasing your skills; it’s about being part of a movement that empowers women in sports.

What to Expect at the Tryouts

Participants can expect an engaging and rigorous workout session, which offers a variety of drills and skills evaluations.

Skills Assessment

Coaches will assess various skills such as speed, tackling, passing, and catching. Be ready to show your abilities through drills that mimic real-game scenarios. A typical drill may involve sprinting 40 yards in under 5 seconds to demonstrate speed or executing quick passes under pressure.

Teamwork and Communication

Football is fundamentally a team sport, and communication is essential. Expect to engage in exercises that emphasize strategy and teamwork. Coaches will look for players who can collaborate well and contribute positively to the team dynamic.

Fitness and Conditioning

Physical fitness is crucial for football. Participants should arrive with a good level of conditioning. The tryouts will feature assessments that include a series of short sprints, ball handling/security abilities, cardiovascular and muscular endurance and more.
