The East Tennessee Valkyrie are holding Tryouts as part of the Women's Football Alliance on October 18, 2026 from 2-5pm at Holston Elementary School.
Every year, as part of the Women’s Football Alliance, we get to show the League how deep our bench is and what broad span of talent we have here in East Tennessee.
This year’s no different. We want players who’re willing to put in that work, make hard hits, be good teammates, and who want to make an impact in the world of women’s sports.
Growing up, we were told “no”, “you’ll get hurt”, and “it’s not for girls.” Well forget that. The East Tennessee Valkyrie are a group of immensely talented athletes from around the area who don’t take No for an answer.
We’re hurtling into the 2027 season with a chip on our shoulder. We want wins. We want tough players. We want to bring a National Championship home.
Never played before? That’s fine, a lot of our players hadn’t either before they stepped on our field. Played team sports before? Awesome, bring that attitude to the Valkyrie. Not ready to commit to playing but want to be involved? Rad, let’s talk.
What to expect at Tryouts on October 18.
1. You’re gonna run. At least 40 yards. Definitely more.
2. You’re gonna catch the ball. We want to see how good your hands are.
3. You’re gonna block. Our offense and defensive lines need to know how you do with another large athlete coming your way.
4. You’re gonna learn some basics of the game and how we play. Our coaches have 20+ years of experience and will teach you everything you need to know to play with The Valkyrie.
6. You’re gonna run drills with us; agility ladders, blocking drills, and more.
7. You’re gonna love it.
What to bring to Tryouts
1. Comfortable clothes. See above re: running.
2. Cleats if you have them, but workout shoes are also welcome.
3. Gloves if you have them, but not required.
4. Water.
5. Your ID.
