Women Take 'Football 101
BY LAYLA GARMS
THE CHRONICLE
Women from across the communi
ty flocked to Winston-Salem State
University Saturday to get a hands-on
education about the game of football.
Hosted jointly by the university's
Department of Athletics and football
program, the Second Annual Women's
Football Clinic drew over two dozen
women of all ages and abilities.
Aimee McCaskill, who graduated
from WSSU in 1983, was among the
women who paid $20 to learn the
basics of the sport.
"I wanted to learn more about
football," she said of her motivation
to take part in the clinic, which ran
from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. "I love football,
so I am trying to learn all I can about
it."
The clinic was birthed last year, as
a means of expanding the Rams' fan
base, which has grown ever more fer
vent in recent years, as the team has
posted back-to-back undefeated sea
sons in C1AA conference play.
"I think it's a great opportunity to
give back to the community and the
community of Rams and just all
women that want to learn a little more
about football and have a good time,"
commented Head Football Coach
Connell Maynor, who led his team to
the Division II national champi
onships last year. "We didn't want it
to be a one year thing. We had a nice
showing last year, so we wanted to
keep it going."
The 2012 clinic was a three-day
brown bag series focused on the fun
damentals of the game. This year,
organizers increased the stakes, chal
lenging clinic participants to hit the
field to see what it's really like to be
a football player.
"This year we're taking it to the
field; the ladies wanted to be a little
more hands-on," said Athletic
Marketing Director Brian Murrill.
"...The ladies are very excited. I've
been getting nothing but positive
feedback."
The women were divided into
groups and put through the paces,
executing a demanding County Fair
conditioning program.
"This year we wanted to change it
