NAU Football Spring Practice Schedule Released

The 2012 NAU Football Spring Practice schedule has been released featuring 15 practices beginning on Tuesday, March, 27th, and culminating with the annual Spring Game on Saturday, April, 28th. The practice schedule will follow a weekly Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday format to allow for optimal time with student-athlete academics, play and scheme installation, and film review and analysis. The only exception to this format will be the week of Friday, April 13th. There will be a scrimmage on Friday the 13th instead of Saturday, April 14th, to accommodate the Lumberjack Golf Classic held in Sedona on the 14th.

The entire spring practice schedule is listed below. Spring practices will be open to the public and the schedule is dependent on the weather.

NEW SPRING GAME FORMAT

The annual NAU Spring Football game will take on a new look and feel in 2012. The game will be dubbed the NAU Blue-White Spring Game and will pit the NAU Offense (White) against the NAU Defense (Blue). There will be a scoring format for both sides of the ball, to create a game-day atmosphere. Also, building on the game-day feel tailgating will open on the 28th at 9:00 am and there will be multiple fan promotions, giveaways, and contests before, during, and after the game. The spring game will be held on Saturday, April 28th, at 11:00 am on the Upper Practice Fields across the street from the Skydome. The Blue-White Spring Game is absolutely FREE and open to the public!
