Mississippi State Football Coaches Clinic Set For This Week
STARKVILLE, Miss. ? Mississippi State head football coach Dan Mullen and the Bulldog coaching staff will host their first Spring Football Coaches Clinic on Thursday, April 2 and Friday, April 3 on the MSU campus. High school and youth league coaches are invited to attend the event, presented by Cappe’s Steakhouse and Northeast Mississippi Coca-Cola Bottlers.
The two-day event will feature on-field demonstrations by the Mississippi State coaching staff, presentations by top high school coaches from around the state and “chalk talk” sessions with MSU coaches. Participants will also be treated to three all-you-can-eat meals.
“We’re excited about having the opportunity to share football knowledge and great food with coaches from all around the region,” Mullen said. “In addition to extensive instruction on every aspect of the game, the clinic will hopefully provide an opportunity to develop relationships between our staff and each participant.”
The clinic will begin with registration at the Palmeiro Center at 9 a.m. Thursday, followed by a morning of instruction by Mullen, defensive coordinator Carl Torbush and offensive coordinator Les Koenning. After lunch and sessions led by prominent high school coaches, the clinic will move to the practice fields for the Bulldogs’ fifth spring practice and on-field demonstrations of coaching techniques.
An evening of dinner and Cappe’s Chalk Talk with Coach Mullen and the MSU coaching staff will conclude the first day’s activities. Breakfast will be provided on Friday morning, and head strength and conditioning coach Matt Balis will host the first session. The clinic will conclude at 12 noon, and coaches are invited to attend Friday afternoon practice.
Registration is available at the door for $40. High school coaches can also earn continuing education units for their participation at the clinic.
