With the 2011 championship season now filed away under βMission Accomplishedβ, the Marauder Football team will hold its annual spring training camp from March 28 to April 5, 2012.
The Marauder coaching staff will conduct eight days of on-field practice, culminating in an intra-squad scrimmage that will be held at Ron Joyce Stadium from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 5th. Spring Camp is a vital aspect of preparation and evaluation, as the Marauders set their collective focus on the 2012 OUA football season and making another run at the Yates Cup.
Head Coach Stef Ptaszek says Spring Camp is an opportunity for young players to step up and challenge for roles on the team, βThere is no first-string and no scout team at Spring Camp. Everybody gets the same number of reps and it allows the coaches to see the results of the off-season training that all our players have been doing, and it gives everyone the chance to make an impression.β
The practice schedule for Spring Camp 2012 will be as follows:
| Date | Time |
| Wednesday, March 28 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Thursday, March 29 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Friday, March 30 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Saturday, March 31 | 11:00 am β 3:00 pm |
| Sunday, April 1 | 10:00 am β 2:00 pm |
| Monday, April 2 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Tuesday, April 3 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Wednesday, April 4 | 5:00-7:00 pm |
| Thursday, April 5 | 4:00-6:00 pm β Maroon & Grey Scrimmage |
Following Thursdayβs scrimmage the Marauder Friends of Football organization will hold its annual general meeting at 6:15 p.m.in Room WB113 in the David Braley Athletic Centre. The Marauder Friends of Football assist the McMaster program in a variety of support and fund-raising efforts and new members are always welcome.
