Charleston, S.C - The Citadel Football Association will present the Second Annual Women's Football Seminar on Saturday, July 30 at Johnson Hagood Stadium.
The experience is open to ladies and teenage girls only. Registration begins at 7:30 am and the event runs from 8:30 am to 3 pm. Cost is $50 per person.
First-time attendees to Football 101 will spend the morning going behind-the-scenes with tours of the team's meeting room, weight room, training and equipment rooms. Citadel coaches will provide instruction on the basics of the game as well as the option offense that is currently being utilized by the Bulldogs.
Football 102 is only for those who attended the inaugural event last year. Their morning will be spent getting more in-depth instruction in player positions, walking through plays in addition to offensive and defensive strategies.
A catered lunch for all attendees will be held in the Altman Athletic Center at the stadium and will feature a tailgate-type menu. A special program will follow with Kay Higgins, wife of the Bulldogs' head coach Kevin Higgins.
New this year will be a "Fall Tailgating Fashion Show" and will feature designs during lunch with stylings from local shops Cache, Coldwater Creek and Palmetto Moon of Towne Center. After lunch, the group will "hit" the stadium field for a practice that includes running plays, passing and receiving, tackling dummies and the all-important "fun run to the end zone" where one can perform individual touchdown dances.
Goody bags for all attendees contain a T-shirt, a complete football information notebook, a 2011 souvenir schedule poster and two tickets ($50 value) to a Citadel home football game. At this game, highlights for the seminar will be featured on the stadium's videoboard.
Last year 54 women enjoyed a memorable time and learned enough about football to impress even their husbands and/or male friends.
A portion of the seminar is tax deductible as proceeds benefit The Citadel Football Association's Scholarship through The Citadel Brigadier Foundation.
