Yukica clinic approaching

The Joe Yukica New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame will hold its 13th Annual Spring Football Clinic on Sunday at the University of New Hampshire.

There will be clinic presentations during the morning sessions, and coaches will have the opportunity to observe UNH practice during the afternoon session. Strength-and-conditioning workouts will be open to coaches during the day. Paul Chapman, UNH's strength-and-conditioning coach, will be available to answer questions. Donuts and coffee will be served from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The cost is $30 for those who pre-register (registration must be received no later than April 19) and $35 at the door. Any profits will be donated to the Joe Yukica New Hampshire Chapter for scholarship assistance. For more information or to request a registration form, contact Exeter High School football coach Bill Ball at bball@sau16.org or 775-8530.
