Training Camp Roster
Beginning on Friday, April 19 and ending on Sunday, April 21, 18 athletes will be vying for 12 spots on the inaugural Flint United roster. Camp will be held at New Standard Academy.
Notable names from the Flint-area include Lance Adams who prepped at International Academy of Flint, Reggie Reed from Beecher, Ja’quin Jones of Carman-Ainsworth and Ja/Myrin Jackson by way of Lansing Everett.
The other 14 athletes span the state and country including Illinois, California, Pennsylvania, New York, Detroit and Southfield.
“We’re excited about (training) camp and getting started,” said Head Coach Charlie Bell.
“We have a lot of great players and I know the fans will enjoy all the talent we’re bringing to the city,” Bell added. “Only hard part will be that we can’t keep everyone even though we wish we could. We have way too much talent to choose from which is also a good thing. I know camp will be competitive and the players can’t wait to get started..”
