For our long time coaching friends, please go onto our website and use the booking code COACH or call me personally to secure your bookings. It is going to be a really busy weekend and we want all of our returning friends to have their "home at the Inn".
Some of the important details from the announcement made by the athletic department included.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke and the Wolverines coaching staff will host the annual Michigan Football Coaches Clinic Thursday through Saturday, March 29-31.
"The clinic is always a great time because you're surrounded by other coaches who enjoy teaching football and whose passion it is to help develop our youth," said Hoke. "This year's clinic lineup features some of the region's best high school and college football coaches, and our entire staff is available in chalk talk sessions and on-the-field demonstrations."
The clinic includes three days of Wolverines spring practices starting Thursday, March 29. The clinic will begin in Schembechler Hall on Thursday and continue in the U-M Indoor Track Building on Friday, with practices being held in Glick Field House. Saturday's clinic will be held in the Junge Family Champions Center and will conclude with practice at Michigan Stadium. Practice locations will be dictated by weather conditions.
On Thursday, members of the Michigan coaching staff will hold breakout sessions following practice. On Friday, select high school coaches will speak prior to lunch, and following a strength and conditioning overview by Aaron Wellman and breakout sessions with members of the video, equipment and athletic training staffs, members of the Michigan coaching staff will speak and run field demonstrations. Friday evening will include presentations by Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison and offensive coordinator Al Borges and will conclude with chalk talks with the entire Michigan coaching staff.

My family and I are proud to be the Innkeepers for the Lamp Post Inn, a small family owned hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Lamp Post Inn is located very near the University of Michigan campus and is in an ideal location for those visiting the University or hospitals. We are also less than two miles rom the University of Michigan athletic fields, The Ark, Hill Auditorium, the Michigan Theater and downtown Ann Arbor.
Our dream when we purchased the hotel was not to have the most exquisite hotel in town, but rather to own a hotel that was affordable but met the basics needs of visitors to Ann Arbor. We wanted to provide a convenient, friendly, clean accommodation at a fair price. We realized an older hotel could not hope to compete against the four star amenities of our pricey, and corporate franchised competition but we also believed that most people did not need the glitz, as long as they received value for their dollar.
When you visit Ann Arbor we invite you to stay with us and enjoy our hotel. We are proud to be a part of Ann Arbor, a world leader in academics, athletics and cultural events.
