COMMUNITY >> Football 202 For Ladies Only!

The BC Lions held their 2008 session of Football 202 on Sunday, July 6th on the grass field at the BC Lions Surrey Training Facility. Over 60 enthusiastic ladies came out to learn some basic football skills from their very own BC Lions players.

This year, BC Lions players Adam Nicolson, Jason Clermont, Buck Pierce, Jarious Jackson, Alexis Bwenge, Ian Smart, LaVar Glover, Jason Pottinger, Sherko Haji-Rasouli, Jason Jimenez, Dean Valli, Ricky Foley, Korey Banks and Paul McCallum put on their coaching caps and led the ladies through several stations that taught them everything from passing and receiving to defending and kicking.

Stay tuned for more information about the 2009 session of Football 202. For more information on Football 202, contact the BC Lions community relations department at communityrelations@bclions.com.

Testimonials from past participants: 

“It was more fun and social. It wasn’t all too serious, but it definitely gave me a better idea in what to look for in the plays going on when I go to the games… I didn’t think the players would be so friendly. It was surprising in a good way.” – Susanna, Football 202 participant

“It was great to be a part of Football 202, just to learn more when I’m going to the games with my husband. I’m the one who organizes our season tickets and I wanted to be more pumped when I was going to the games! It was great to meet the players and learn about the details of what they do on the field.” - Lisa, Football 202 participant
