University of La Verne associate head football coach Richard Worsell recently had an article published in the American Football Coaches Association's (AFCA) 2013 Summer Manual.

Worsell's article, "Full Speed Ahead:  Installing Your Offense In Three Days," focuses on implementing an offense from the standard 10 days to a three-day cycle for faster learning and increased efficiency.

Coach Worsell, who serves as the Leopards' offensive coordinator, is entering his third season on the La Verne staff.  Last season, La Verne was among the SCIAC conference leaders in several major statistical categories.

Last year, Worsell was published in Gridiron Strategies titled "The Quick Passing Game Made Easy:  The 3-Step Boot Game" in the June/July 2012 edition.

La Verne football begins practice on August 24 in preparations for the upcoming 2013 campaign.   The Leos open their season at Whitworth on September 21.
