The Eastside JC Bulldogs, a football team for students enrolled in two-year colleges, is hosting three combine training events for prospective team members on consecutive Saturdays in May.

The team, which is not affiliated with Bellevue College or any other academic institution, plays games during the fall against other regional junior college teams from throughout Washington.

Last year’s team included nearly 40 players from high schools around the Eastside, including Sammamish, Interlake and Newport.

Players do not need to attend Bellevue College, but must maintain an academic course load at a two-year school and have collegiate eligibility remaining.

The combines are scheduled for May 3, 10 and 20 at Crossfit Bellevue (13425 SE 30th St. Ste. 2C), with sign in beginning at 10:30 a.m. The fee is $35 for new players and $25 for returning players and tests will include 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical and broad jump and other football related drills.
