TU Football Announces Details Of Ladies Football 101

As football season draws close and closer, the University of Tulsa football team has announced details for the annual Football 101 For Women this summer.

The event provides a look into the behind-the-scenes action of TU football program for ladies only.

This year's event will take place on Thursday July 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Case Athletic Complex, the north end zone building located at H.A. Chapman Stadium, on the TU campus, The cost is $25.00 per person. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Tulsa Chapter of the American Cancer Society.

"We had a great time last year. It was entertaining and a lot of fun for the coaches, and hopefully it was so for the women as well. I thought the women came away with a little bit more knowledge of how a college football program operates as well as becoming more knowledgeable about the game of football," said TU Head Coach Bill Blankenship. "We're looking forward to having another fun time talking TU football."

Coach Blankenship and the rest of the TU coaching staff will give ladies the opportunity to learn more about the game of football including more on the following topics:

General Topics
• Division of Labor – What players DO and why
