Airdrie's Peewee football program, the Storm, are getting ready for the new season this August.

The team held their first tryouts last weekend (June 17, 18), and Head Coach Nolan Rohl was impressed with the turnout.

"We had 59 players try out last year and 67 this year. We're seeing more players interested in Football that want to play."

Rohl says a big reason for that jump is the number of youngsters interested in Atom flag football.

"We saw 12 flag players this year and only 1 last year."

As these were the primary tryouts, the coaches will schedule individual tryouts with different players.
