The Whaling City Clippers today announced that the team will be holding its first team meeting of the 2012 season. Any and all current or prospective players are invited to attend. This will be the first meeting to prepare for the 2012 Whaling City Clippers as they enter their second-consecutive year in the highly-competitive New England Football League’s AAA Conference.
“We finished the 2011 season with our first playoff win in AAA and have added to a strong core of returning players who have dedicated themselves to improving upon last year’s performance,” said Mike Arguin, General Manager. “Interest in the team has never been higher. Last year we had nearly 100 players express an interest in playing for us and we expect to surpass that number this year. Only 50-60 players will have what it takes to make the final cut,” continued Arguin. A number of players have already signed up through the team’s website.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30PM in the auditorium at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School, 1121 Ashley Boulevard in New Bedford, MA.
The goals of this first team meeting will be to begin the sign-up process and to communicate the goals of the team both on and off the field. Topics will include an introduction to the 2012 coaching staff, the outlook for the NEFL’s AAA Conference, the team’s player requirements and expectations, conditioning camp and practice schedule for 2012.
There is a non-refundable $25 sign-up fee for players interested in signing-up with the team. Players may pre-register on the team website at: http://whalingcityclippers.com/contact-us/player-inquiry/.
