XFL PRE-SEASON TRAINING CAMPS UNDERWAY; SEASON TO KICKOFF FEBRUARY 3

XFL PRE-SEASON TRAINING CAMPS UNDERWAY IN ORLANDO AND LAS VEGAS; SEASON TO KICKOFF FEBRUARY 3

With kickoff of the inaugural XFL season only one month away, the league’s eight teams have opened their first-ever pre-season training camps in Orlando and Las Vegas.

Officially getting underway this past Monday with player physicals, team meetings and other administrative activities, on-field practice starts today for the coaching staffs and 70-man squads in each camp. Over the next four weeks, teams will prepare for the season’s February 3 kickoff, with rosters being trimmed to 38 active players and seven reserves by January 28.

Training in the Orlando area will be the XFL’s four East Division teams (Birmingham Thunderbolts, Chicago Enforcers, New York/New Jersey Hitmen and Orlando Rage) while the West Division squads (Las Vegas Outlaws, Los Angeles Xtreme, Memphis Maniax and San Francisco Demons) will workout in the Las Vegas area. (See below for detailed XFL training camp information.)

“The opening of training camps represents another major milestone in the development of our league," said XFL President, Basil V. DeVito, Jr. "The creation of the XFL was announced on February 3, 2000 and our season begins February 3, 2001, so this means we're in the homestretch."

The XFL is jointly owned and operated by World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: WWF) and NBC.
