BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell's football team had a season of close contests in 2010 and starts preparation for the 2011 season later this month as its spring practice schedule was released this afternoon. The team practices regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting on Feb. 28 until the annual Orange-Black Scrimmage on April 9. The team can host a total of 15 practice events throughout the spring and will take a hiatus for the campus spring break in early March.

Campbell went 3-8 and placed nine on All-PFL teams in 2010. Five of CU's eight losses came by a touchdown or less. The Camels led the Pioneer Football League in rushing for the second consecutive season (207.73). CU's average rushing average total placed the team 16^th nationally. The team placed four individuals (Rashaun Brown, Daniel Polk, Carl Smith and C.J. Oates) in the league's top 11 in rushing. The Camels set a school-record with 55 points scored and 416 yards rushing against Valparaiso on Nov. 6. Two Campbell players earned national recognition for outstanding performances in the classroom. Both redshirt junior offensive lineman Andy Johnson and senior tight end Mike Stryffeler were CoSIDA First Team District 3 selections. The Camels also had six players earned Academic All-PFL Honors in Stryffeler (first team - offense), Johnson (first team - offense), redshirt senior Daniel Polk (second team - offense) redshirt junior Josh Owens (second team - offense), graduate student Charles Fiore (second team - defense) and sophomore Paul Pizzuti (second team - defense).

The team practices regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30-5:30 p.m. starting on Feb. 28 through April 6. All practices are open to the public to view and get a sneak peak of the 2011 team. CU hosts three Saturday scrimmages throughout the spring at Barker-Lane Stadium. The first Saturday full-contact scrimmage is on March 19 at 12 p.m. The Camels will also host Saturday scrimmages on March 26 and April 2.

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 9, CU will host their annual organized uniformed scrimmage, the Orange-White game, starting at 10 a.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 offense defeated the defense 35-27 in the spring game for the first win in the now three years of the series.

Campbell University will also host the Hall of Fame Golf Tournament on April 8, a day before the spring game, at Keith Hills Country Club.

The Camels will host the third annual women's clinic on April 2. Further details about the clinic will be available at a later date.
