Posted 3/21/2011

Athletics will sponsor "A Women's Football Clinic" on Saturday - April 9, from 12:45 to 6 p.m. Lunch will be served during the clinic. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes to this event.

Vanderbilt's first women's football clinic will give Commodore fans an up close and personal look at Vanderbilt's football program. VUFB 101 is specifically designed for Vanderbilt's female fans to learn the basics of college football and become the most knowledgeable fans in the country.

Coach James Franklin and the Commodore coaching staff will spend time teaching the basics of Vanderbilt's offensive and defensive football schemes to clinic goers. Participants will then take what is learned on the chalkboard and apply it to the game field in an exciting skills and drills segment.
