LUBBOCK, Texas - The Second Annual Football 101 Clinic for Women has been scheduled for Sat., July 27, from 6-9 p.m. at the United Spirit Arena on the Texas Tech campus.

The purpose of the clinic is to provide the female football fan with an in-depth insight to the game. The inaugural clinic last summer sold out.

"The first year was a success 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 type of clinics."

The goal of the Football 101 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 and their wives will be on hand throughout the clinic.

Entry fee for the clinic is $20 before July 20 and $25 after. Groups of five or more may sign up for $15 per person. For more information, please contact the Texas Tech Football Office at (806) 742-4260 or log-on to www.mikeleach.net. Registration is limited to the first 360 participants.
