Today's photo gallery – Day 6
MIAMI (March 24, 2017) – Day six of this year's FIU football spring camp was highlighted by this year's FIU Football Coaches Clinic.
The two-day clinic began on Friday as high school and youth coaches from around the state of Florida were treated to a number of guest speakers, including FIU Offensive Coordinator Rich Skorsky and Defensive Coordinator
Brent Guy. After an early evening practice and a coach's social and BBQ, the clinic ended with a breakout session and chalk talk by position.
"Today was a great turnout," Head Coach
Butch Davis said. "An event like this helps build relationships with coaches from all around the state which is important. We tailor-made our drills so these coaches could take them back to their programs and use in their practices."
The clinic will continue on Saturday with additional speakers in the morning before FIU's practice beginning at 10:00 a.m.
The annual Spring Game is set for April 7 at 7 p.m., at Ocean Bank Field at FIU Stadium.
