This past Friday a group of international students continued their orientation to life at Grinnell College and in the United States with a session on football.

| Jake O'Polka '16 and Ibuki Ogasawara '17 (Takasaki, Japan) discuss the basics of the game |
Most knew of football only in the international sense, soccer as we know it, and were eager to learn more about the game as it's played here. The group joined the Pioneers for their Friday walk-through to try on some equipment and to get a few pointers.

After practice, the group got a basic introduction to the game from Residence Life Coordinator Dan Hirsch. Hirsch did a nice job breaking the game down to it's most basic principles, and relating it to their shared knowledge of other games. Hopefully a few "graduates" of the course will be interested in continuing to learn more about the game!
