Coyotes host tryouts for local Major Arena Soccer team

Putting together the pieces to their new franchise, the El Paso Coyotes held open tryouts on Thursday, July 21. The Coyotes will be debuting in the Major Arena Soccer League starting in late October. The three-day tryouts will be held through Saturday at the El Paso County Coliseum in attempts to finalize the roster.

For club president and co-owner Gil Cantu this was a dream that took four years to materialize.

“People in El Paso are going to love it,” Cantu said. “They’re going to love it because it’s indoor…you will see a lot of lights, music and the cheerleaders performing at halftime.
