Rookie/Collegiate Clinic with Austin Valkyries

Check out the hundreds of photos my dad and Traci took at the Austin Valkyries Rookie/Collegiate Clinic

My dad just got a digital SLR camera and all we could hear the whole clinic was the whir of the shutter. It was awesome! Thanks for taking pics Dad and Traci!

Also thanks to Meg Pace, Meredith Bagley, Heidi Whitman and Traci Schmidtke for coaching and helping at the clinic.

The clinic was a ton of fun! We had 15 girls at the clinic from Baylor University, University of Texas, Denton, and the Austin Valkyries. The day started at 10am with a short warm up, passing skills and games and then we moved into defense before lunch.

After lunch we worked on rucking/mauling and then tackling. To wrap up the day around 3pm we did waterfall, and other situational drills. The day ended with the camp participants playing “flinch.” The game where you try to fake out your teammates and if they flinch, they are out. So Team 1 won and Team 2 had to hike up their shorts and do star jumps…good fun!

The clinic was a success and next season we hope there will be more and more participants. Thanks to everyone who attended and for your hard work. Next week the Austin Valkyries play Texas A&M at Burr Field at 1pm. Come out and enjoy a great game while showing us your support!
