If there is any doubt that the 22nd annual New Mexico Women’s Football Clinic on July 23rd at Branch Field at University Stadium will be a good time, just watch the LoboTV highlight video of the 2014 event. It’s chock full of laughs, learning, food, fun and good times. This year’s clinic promises more of the same.
The clinic not only gives women a first-hand look at the inner workings of the Lobo football program, and but it teaches the game to give those fans a better understanding on the nuances of Lobo football. The clinic also will provide attendees an opportunity to meet coach Davie, his staff and members of the Lobo football program. From the uniform to the playbook to the drills themselves, participants in the women’s clinic get their fill of Lobo football, with the emphasis on having fun and learning about the program.
“The Lobo Football Women’s Clinic has become a great tradition here at UNM for me and my staff,” Davie said. “We cherish the opportunity to give the women of New Mexico a glimpse of what Lobo football is all about.”
All participants will get dinner provided by Fuddruckers and beverages with the Lobos, participate in a Question & Answer Session, take a tour of the Lobo football facilities, learn on-field drills with instruction from the players and coaches, and receive a T-shirt for attending.
Former Lobo player and current Lobo assistant coach Jason Lenzmeier, who has participated in the clinics both as a player and a coach, said the enthusiasm the women bring sets the tone for the evening.
“There are a lot of women who are pretty savvy when it comes to football,” Lenzmeier says. “So it’s not like we’re trying to introduce them to football; it’s just taking them though a day in the life of a Lobo football player. It is a good time; it’s unique and it’s fun.”
This year, Women’s Football Clinic participants will be joined by Rachel Jordan, CW Star, and Kristen Curry, Morning Weather Forecaster for KRQE News 13 & 2 KASA Fox.
