Camp Bothellhood- August 21-23
​
Arrive at BHS on August 21 at 7:30 AM


Players and coaches will be spending the first 3 days of official fall football practice August 21-23 at Camp Bothellhood at Bothell High School. 

Booster Club pays all the expenses for Camp Bothellhood from the auction proceeds.


What we need from parents is an Affirmation Letter!

Please view the Affirmation Letter  link there you will find a letter from Coach Bainter regarding the need for each family to write a letter of affirmation to their player. Coach has been doing this for the past several years and returning players probably expect this to happen but he asks that you keep this quiet and not let the players read the letters in advance. These letters will be distributed to each player at camp to be read privately following a team activity. 

Letters are due August 14th: Mail to Cougar Football Club PO Box 42 Bothell 98041 

Wondering Why Coach asks for Affirmation Letters? Below is an article by the LA Times: Bernstein Football Letters and E:60 profile.

Please note your players name on the outside of the sealed envelope for easy distribution.
