The U18 and U16 Portland Timbers Invitational Academy Tryout List’s have been announced. It looks like tryouts are August 1st and 2nd. The list of players is not the complete pool of players that will eventually become the academy teams – as there are some footnotes (the footnotes are listed after the jump).

According to the notes on page three of the PDF, "There are injured players that signed up but were unable to tryout this weekend that may be asked to come along."

"The Portland Timbers Residential Camp will also be utilized as an evaluation session for those registered."

"There may also be a supplemental tryout date for those players that tried to sign up between the deadline and the tryout this past weekend. Those players will be notified within 7 days."

*Had trouble finding a comprehensive list of All-League Selections for the State of Washington, therefore Washington may be incomplete
