Big NE Football Clinic held in RI in March for past 49 yrs. Outstanding clinic with NFL, College & HS coaches lecturing in 6 rooms simultaneously over 2 days 🏈
Veteran UNH Coach Sean McDonnell learned from his own coaches that "you've got to have the ability to adapt." And when it comes to your athletes: "You've got to tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. And that's hard."
High School clinicians for this year's BNEFC will include Lou Marinelli, who in 2017 became the winningest coach in CT h.s. football history. In 2019, he completed his 39th season as Head Coach for the New Canaan Rams & was inducted into Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame.
The BNEFC welcomes Princeton Offensive Line Coach Chris Zarkoskie as a 2022 clinician. The 2021 Ivy League Champion Tigers' offense ranked 1st in the Ivy League in scoring and 2nd in passing offense & passing efficiency.

Excited to announce this year's BNEFC Legends Lecture will feature Sean McDonnell, who last December retired after 23 years at the helm of the UNH program as the CAA's active leader in conference victories (100).

"Don't get bored with the details," says New Canaan High School Football Coach Lou Marinelli.

There's always something to learn from Holy Cross Head Coach Bob Chesney, who last fall led the Crusaders to a 10-3 record (6-0 in conference play) and their 3rd consecutive Patriot League title, w/ Holy Cross winning its first FCS playoff game in program history.
Love Coach Lou Marinelli's idea of installing a "leadership council" on high school football teams. Great way to make kids feel involved and accountable to the culture of the team
