Bengals and Marvin Lewis Community Fund Football 101 For the Ladies

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports

They talked about this event during the game last night and my wife has always wanted to give it a try. We signed her up last night and she's super excited! Have any of you attended, or know anyone who has? Any ladies in your life going this year and need a drinking buddy near the stadium? It looks like a great event for a great cause so I'm happy that Jessica has the opportunity to contribute--though I'm extremely jealous!

Cincinnati Bengals and the Marvin Lewis Community Fund Football 101

The Cincinnati Bengals and the Marvin Lewis Community Fund will host the 11th Annual Football 101 presented by Pure Romance on Thursday, September 25, 2014 at Paul Brown Stadium from 4:30 - 9:30 p.m.! The event will include a silent auction, Chinese raffle, dinner, drinks, door prizes and a live auction.

Head Coach Marvin Lewis will be joined by members of the Bengals’ coaching staff to explain the rules and nuances of football to 450 attendees* 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 an announcement of the Chinese raffle winners.

"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 rotate through four stations:

  • Classroom – Bengals coaches breakdown film and teach offensive and defensive tendencies, breakdowns in coverage, various plays and a variety of other things they go over with their players while preparing for a game.
  • Chalk Talk – Bengals coaches teach plays in the locker room.
  • Offensive Drills – Offensive coaches lead the participants through offensive fundamental drills and teach the women how to kick a field goal.
  • Defensive Drills – Hitting the sled and tackling dummies are 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 then meet on the field for some friendly competition.
