The Cincinnati Bengals and the Marvin Lewis Community Fund (MLCF) once again team up to host Football 101 presented by PNC on Thursday, October 29th at Paul Brown Stadium at 4:30 p.m. The event starts with a silent auction, dinner, drinks, raffle, and door prizes.
Head Coach Marvin Lewis is joined by members of the Bengals’ coaching staff and players to explain the rules and nuances of football to the 450 attendees. Individuals learn the game in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere. The event includes hands-on demonstrations, video presentations, and VIP tours of the locker room, weight room, and playing field. The night ends with coffee, desserts and a live auction.
“I love teaching this game and I do not think I’ve met a more enthusiastic and fun group of pupils than the participants that attend Football 101,” said Coach Lewis. “I look forward to recognizing our Pink Football Award winner every year as it is an inspiration to myself and all the attendees.”
The Football 101 participants will rotate through five stations:
*Under the Hood – Held in the team meeting room, retired NFL referee Paul Weidner discusses the rules of the game in an interactive session allowing the guests to “throw the flag and make the call.”
*Classrom – Bengals coaches break down game film and discuss tendencies, reading the defense, techniques, etc.
* Chalk Talk – Bengals coaches go over plays in the locker room and answer any questions the women have.
*Offensive Drills – Bengals offensive coaches lead the participants through the drills the offense practices during the week. Kicker Shayne Graham provides tips as the guests attempt field goals.
*Defensive Drills – Hitting the sled and tackling dummies were just a couple of the drills that were conducted under the watchful eyes of the defensive coaches.
The participants rotate through the interactive sessions every 20 minutes.
Once again this year PNC and the Marvin Lewis Community Fund will recognize an outstanding woman for her strength, courage, and perseverance to overcome breast cancer with the fifth annual Pink Football Award.
