On Saturday, July 18, the 12th annual Women’s Football Clinic sponsored by the Wake Forest University Sports Marketing Department was held at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem. Lead by the University Football Coaching Staff, Women were taught some football basics, raised a little charity money, and had some fun.
The clinic was held at the BB&T Field off Deacon Boulevard, after a breakfast and brief speech by head football coach Jim Grobe in Bridger Field House.
Attendance at the clinic set a record this year — 250 women attended, compared with 210 a year ago — because many women return each year and bring their friends with them, Grobe said.
“They learn a little bit of football,” Grobe said. “I think sometimes the men are a little jealous because some of the guys would like to come over here and get coached a little bit.”
The clinic-registration fees go toward helping underprivileged children attend Wake Forest football games.a
Grobe said that the clinic lso gives women an appreciation for what it takes to play football.
“They’re doing the same drills that we do with our football players,” he said.
The women moved from station to station around the field, three for offensive drills and three for defensive ones.
