LUBBOCK, Texas - A facilities tour, offensive and defensive instruction and an equipment demonstration highlight the Fifth Annual Texas Tech Women's Football Clinic, which is scheduled for Thu., Aug. 4, at 6:30 p.m. at the Texas Tech Football Training Facility. The event is presented by ASCO.
Entry fee for the clinic is $30. Groups of five or more may sign up for $25 per person and all forms must be turned in together. For more information, please contact the Texas Tech Football Office at (806) 742-4260. Applications for the Women's Football Clinic are available at www.texastech.com and www.mikeleach.net. A camp t-shirt and refreshments are included in the entry fee.
The primary purpose of the clinic, which will be divided into beginner and advanced levels, is to provide the female football fan with an in-depth insight to the game. The previous three clinics sold out quickly.
"The first four years were successes and everyone had a great time," said Dennis Simmons, Tech Assistant Athletic Director of Football Quality Control and clinic coordinator. "Most clinics cater to men, not allowing women the same opportunity. We want to provide the female football fan with the same knowledge of the game that men receive in these types of clinics."
The goal of the Texas Tech Football Clinic for Women is to educate female fans with an opportunity to gain perspective into the world of a Division I football player. Texas Tech football coaches will be on hand throughout the clinic and provide instruction.
Members of the Texas Tech football team will be on hand to demonstrate the proper use and wear of equipment. The evening will conclude with an auction featuring Texas Tech memorabilia. Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably for warm weather. It is recommended that participants wear tennis shoes and a t-shirt.
