ELON, N.C. – On-field preparations for the 2016 Elon University football season will get underway when the Phoenix returns to the practice field on Wednesday, March 30. That is the day that the Elon football squad will open its spring practice. This year, the Phoenix will hold 15 sessions, all of which are open to the public. Spring practice will come to a conclusion with the annual Spring Game on Saturday, April 23 in Rhodes Stadium.

We will have more internal competition than ever before. Spring practice will be another exciting phase as we continue to build the program.”
All practice sessions are open to the public and the full schedule is listed below. Unless noted, all practices will be held on the Hunt and Tucker fields. Practice dates, times and locations are subject to change due to weather conditions.
