    Each spring we are proud to welcome back a number of high school coaches that stay with us annually during theUniversity of Michigan Football Coaches Clinic.  This year the clinic will be held March 29-31.   This is the same weekend as the Ann Arbor Film Festival so it would appear to be a blockbuster weekend in Ann Arbor as well as at theLamp Post Inn.

    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.

    Men's Lacrosse Team to play at Big House - April 14 - Special hotel rates at Lamp Post Inn

    The_big_house

    The Michigan men's varsity lacrosse team will play at The Big House on April 14.  A nearby local hotel, The Lamp Post Inn will provide special hotel rates for the event.  The lacrosse game will immediately follow the University of Michigan Spring football game at The Big House.

    Thie is the first near that the sport has enjoyed varsity status.  In May 2011 the University of Michigan Athletic Deparment announced that they were elevating both men's and women's lacrosse to a varsity sport,

    Michigan is the first Bowl Championship Series (BCS) conference school to add men's lacrosse since Notre Dame added the sport in 1980 and started competition in 1981. Michigan will join Ohio State and Penn State as the only schools in the Big Ten Conference to sponsor men's lacrosse.

    U-M's club-varsity program claimed three of the last four Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) national championships (2008, '09, '10) and won Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association (CCLA) conference crowns in 11 of the past 13 seasons. The club program began in 1940 and was halted before World War II, but it restarted in 1965 and has been competing ever since. The program was elevated to club-varsity status in 2001.

    The Lamp Post Inn is located less than 2 miles from The Big House and fans should go directly to the Lamp Post Inn website and use the promo code SPRINGGAME to receive special overnight rates.

    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.
