HOUSTON - The University of Houston and head coach Kevin Sumlin will host Football 101 for Women, presented by State Farm, on Wednesday, June 3, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. in the Carl Lewis Auditorium, inside the Athletics/Alumni Center.
Female Cougar fans will have the opportunity to learn football's basic fundamentals and strategies from Sumlin and staff. Attendees will participate in defensive and offensive drills, strength and conditioning and experience on-field demonstrations.
"State Farm is proud to present the second annual University of Houston Cougar Football 101 for Women on June 3," said Tanya Byrd, Events and Sports Marketing Specialist for State Farm Insurance. "This is such a fun event and it truly is a great opportunity for all women to support the UH football program and experience a little female camaraderie. It is also a great way to support our entire community as the UH football games are family affairs."
Dinner will also be served from 6-6:30 p.m. before the program begins.
Participants must be at least 18 years of age to attend and registration is $25 per person. Sports attire and athletic shoes are required.
Attendees can use their football knowledge to cheer on the Cougars when they open their 2009 campaign by hosting Northwestern State at Robertson Stadium on Sept. 5.
