That’s right! The new Major League Soccer (MLS) team, the Seattle Sounders, which begins play in the MLS next season, will be holding open tryouts, which they will turn into a reality TV show! It’ll be a great way for soccer fans to help choose a player for the new team.

The Sounders will conduct their open tryouts in three Washington cities in November, which will be filmed for a new reality television series. The tryouts will be three hours each and aired starting in January of 2009. Viewers will be able to participate by choosing nine finalists.

The finalists will then have an additional televised one hour tryout in Seattle, which will be aired on February 1, 2009 after the Super Bowl on NBC. During the final tryout a group of judges will determine the winner, which will be awarded a spot on the 2009 Sounders team.
