The Domestic Trial Camp for the Eagles will take place from May 30 to June 2 at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Some players will start to receive invitations this week and the invites will continue to be extended to players over the next four – six weeks.

Coaches who feel they have viable candidates for the camp should fill out the application on the USA web site that will be posted tomorrow (Wednesday March 21). These applications should be in no later than April 23.  The MNT staff will also be watching matches live and on film to help during the recruitment process.

Tolkin noted that players may go from attending a trial one week to playing in a test match the next week as the trial camp dovetails with the first June test match.

“Because of the recent coaching transition, we will be running the camp a bit differently this spring. As we would like to maximize the number of preparation days for new members of the squad before the Canada Test, we will be tagging the trial camp onto the front end of the Eagles’ summer assembly,” Tolkin said.
