It’s almost April!  It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for the clinic season and now we’re in the middle of Spring Ball at Los Medanos College.  And camp is only 12 weeks away!  12 weeks!  We’ve been to Burlingame, Santa Clara, Costa Mesa and Tulsa.  Met a bunch of great coaches and talked a lot of football.

Registrations for the camps have been rolling in and we’re very pleased with the response in these difficult economic times.  We’ve had many conversations regarding fundraising ideas and coaches and players have started their efforts earlier than usual this year.  It’s those extra efforts that always make things happen.  Be sure to check out our fundraising page here on the web site.

LinemenInc will be participating in the 40th Annual Central California Coaches Clinic, May 1-2, College of Sequoias, Visalia.  On Friday night, we will hold a linemen clinic for high school linemen and coaches.  This is a great opportunity to get prepared for May’s high school spring ball season.  On Saturday, coaches can attend numerous instructional clinics.  For more information on this great event check out,  www.centralcaliforniafootball.com.

Our camp coaching staffs are taking shape and we’re very excited to see many returning coaches as well as some new ones.  As is usually the case in coaching, there has been some moving around with our coaching alumni.  Jim Michalczik is now the offensive line coach with the Oakland Raiders, Kerry Locklin is coaching the New York Jets defensive line, Darrell Funk joins numerous other Ball State coaches at their new assignment at San Diego State and Monterio Witherspoon has returned to his alumni, Langston University, as the offensive line coach.  While I am still at Los Medanos College, I’m am pleased to announce my return to the dark side, coaching defensive linebackers and leaving the offensive line to Dave.  They deserve eachother… Check out each individual camp page here on the web site, to view the coaching staff at your camp.

Someone once said that insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and over again in the same way, while expecting different results.  Right now is the time to change things!  Spring is the opportunity to prepare for the rest of the year.  This is the time to sow our seeds so we may reap the benefits this fall on the game field.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you don’t come to LinemenInc with your linemen then find another venue to take them to so that they maybe challenged and improve.  Find a way to get them out of the weight room this summer!

May you all have a great Easter season!
