BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Coming off a successful second season, where the team led the conference and finished among the national leaders in rushing, the Campbell football program announced its 2010 spring practice schedule. The team practices regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting on March 1 until the annual Orange-Black Scrimmage on April 10 at noon. The team can host a total of 15 practice events throughout the spring and will take a break in mid-March and in early April.

Campbell is coming off a 2009 season where it went 3-8, placed nine on All-PFL teams and 34 on All-Academic teams. The Camels led the Pioneer Football League in rushing (189.73 yard per game). The team placed three individual players (C.J. Oates, Daniel Polk and Carl Smith) in the league's top 11 in rushing and ranked 13th nationally overall. The team won both its first Pioneer Football League game (at home against Morehead State 31-22) and first PFL road win (at Valparaiso 17-3). Two Campbell players earned national recognition for outstanding performances in the classroom in CoSIDA First Team All District 3 Selections redshirt junior Charles Fiore and Mike Stryffeler.

The team practices regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30-5:30 p.m. starting on March 1 through April 7. All practices are open to the public to view and get a sneak peak of the 2010 Camels. CU will also host a pair of Saturday scrimmages and a Friday scrimmage at Barker-Lane Stadium. CU starts the potential first scrimmage during the team's third practice on March 5. The first Saturday full-contact scrimmage is on March 20 at 2 p.m. The Camels also host a second scrimmage on Saturday, March 27 at 1 p.m.

Before the scrimmage on March 20, the Campbell coaching staff will host a free coaching clinic starting on Friday, March 19 and going through the morning of the 20th at the Barker-Lane Stadium and the Football Fieldhouse. More details about the clinic will be available in a future release.

The Camels are also scheduled to host the second annual women's clinic on during the morning on March 27. Again further details about the women's clinic will be available at a later date.

All football weekly practices will be held on the grass practice field behind Barker-Lane Stadium (weather permitting). The Camels will move over to the larger venue of Barker-Lane Stadium for all the Saturday scrimmages. Those interested are encouraged to contact the football office on the day of the practice to confirm practice times and locations.

On April 10, CU will host their annual organized uniformed scrimmage, the Orange-Black game, starting at 1 p.m. at Barker-Lane Stadium. The game will be setup to mirror real game situations with 12-15 minute quarters and the offense and defense competing against each other in a pre-determined point system. Last season the Campbell defense defeated the offense 42-34 in the spring game and have now won both spring games played the last two seasons.

Campbell University will also host the Hall of Fame Golf Tournament on April 9, a day before the spring game, at Keith Hills Country Club. Details about the event will be released when available.
