Join Coach Cos for Football 101 for Women‏


ORONO, Maine – University of Maine football head coach Jack Cosgrove will be hosting 'Coach Cos's Football 101 For Women' on Thursday, Aug. 2 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Alfond Lounge in Alfond Arena.  

This interactive workshop is designed to teach women, who never got to play the game, the basics such as offensive and defensive strategies as well as what to look for when watching a game.

The first part of the workshop will feature light refreshments as Coach Cosgrove will go over the fundamentals of the game and have a question and answer session.

The second part will include a tour of the facilities (locker room, weight room, field and skyboxes) as well as a chance to participate in drills with the coaching staff and run plays on the field.

The cost is only $25 and includes a t-shirt, refreshments, a ticket to Maine's home opener on Sept. 22 against Albany, and the Football 101 book written by Sandy Caron and Mike Hodgson. There will be a drawing for two sideline passes for the home opener. All proceeds benefit the UMaine football program.

Attendees are asked to wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes for the walking tour and drills.

Participants are asked to please register in advance so enough refreshments are available by calling the Black Bear Club at 581-1130. Payment may be made by credit card at this number. Payment may be mailed to Mike Hodgson, Asst. AD, University of Maine, 5747 Memorial Gym, Orono, Maine 04469. Checks should be made out to the "University of Maine".

Interested attendees may also email mike.hodgson@umit.maine.edu. Please provide your full name, email address, phone number and t-shirt size (women's cut).

Deadline for registration is July 31.
