The inaugural UFL season is just around the corner to provide football fans with some action in the spring. Notably, several players unable to make it in the NFL will feature in the newly-formed league.

The UFL is a merger of the USFL and XFL. Moreover, any player who wants to play in the league can apply for tryouts on the UFL website or designated registration portals.

Athletes keen to try out for teams need to be in top physical condition to meet the demands of professional football. Furthermore, you need to be over a certain age limit to apply. Make sure to have your personal information and mention your football experience along with any relevant athletic achievements in your form.

At the tryouts, athletes will partake in a series of drills, fitness tests and scrimmages, while being closely observed by league scouts and coaches.
