CHARLESTON S.C. -- The Charleston Battery has switched the dates of its final 2011 invitation trial from February 18-19 to February 24-27.

Players attending the trials will be assessed by the Charleston Battery coaching staff during training games played at Blackbaud Stadium, Daniel Island, SC and the Charleston Battery Practice Facility.

This is an invitation only pre-season camp and is only available to those invited by the battery coaching staff. More than 12 players have already been invited back from our open trials, USL combine and recruited players.

Players interested should send in a request via coach or resume to the coaching staff and if accepted will be informed of the registration process for the weekend of February 24th – 27th.
