Coach Cosgrove, staff to host football clinic for women Sept. 10

University of Maine head football coach Jack Cosgrove and his staff will host “Coach Cos’ Football 101 for Women” at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10.

The interactive workshop is designed to teach women who have never played football 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 Cosgrove and the staff discuss the fundamentals of the game and hold a question-and-answer session.

The second section will include a tour of the UMaine football facilities as well as a chance to participate in optional drills on the field.

Attendees should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes for the walking tour and drills.

The event is $25; $10 for UMaine students. Tickets can be reserved online. All participants receive a T-shirt, and proceeds benefit the UMaine football program. Registration deadline is Sept. 7.
