NEW PLAYER: BOTHELL FOOTBALL INFORMATION
Communication with Parents vis Remind App
We communicate with parents' important information, volunteer opportunities, etc. via text through the remind app. We've found that this works better than email. To be added to the contact list we need each of you to submit: Name, cellphone number, player name and graduation class information. Sometimes you'll be sent a link to click on or to open a file with more information than we can put in a text. You must accept the invitation to join the group to be live on the app. Please send this information to bhscougarfootball@hotmail.com

Why is weight training so important? & Cost
Football is a very demanding sport. Although lifting and running in the off season will not guarantee you will not be injured during the season research shows that the stronger you are the more your body can protect your joints, ligaments, etc. from injury. And....even more important your player gets to spend time with their teammates, encouraging each other to work hard for a common goal.
Cost: $150 per player ($150 to school for Weight Program & $50 for Protein Program paid to Booster Club)
Spring Football, what is this?
WIAA allows a limited number of days teams can use after all spring sports state competitions have finished until August 1st. This training period allows the team time to prep on the field for the summer team camps they attend, participate in 7 on 7 tournaments, etc. The Spring Schedule will be listed on the website home page when we get closer to that time of year but begins after all spring sports are finished.
Eligibility Packets
NSD uses Final Forms an online eligibility enrollment program. If you need help finding final forms, contact Athletic Director Yonni Mills at ymills@nsd.org and she can assist and getting you to the link. All players must be cleared before they can participate.
Summer Team Camp? Where and When is it?
The team will attend a summer camp in late June just after school is out. Dates, location and type of camp is yet to be determined. Additional information will be available as it become known. We hope that your player will attend camp, but it is not required to participate in football. Cost will be finalized closer to camp but plan on approx. $325-$350 per player to attend.
Spring Parent Meeting
In Early May Coach Bainter will host a parent information meeting at BHS or via Zoom. Please watch the website for the most important and current information about Bothell Football.
Player Gear - Spirit Packs
Online orders will be placed following the May parent meeting to order a team sweatshirt, t-shirt, shorts, etc. This will be a onetime order and this gear is intended for players and coaches only. (Parents can purchase gear when the season begins from our merchandise stand). This information and order forms will be available online in mid-May and close early June.
Picture Day
Saturday, August 20 will be team picture day. The morning pictures will be followed by practice. There will be no makeup day for individual pictures.
Pay to Play Fee
This fee is paid to Bothell High School ASB after August 17 and before the first game. If you have financial concerns in paying this fee you should contact the athletic director at BHS, Yonni Mills at ymills@nsd.org. Northshore School District requires all players to purchase an ASB card.
Parent Volunteers
We do some pretty special things for players while at Bothell HS. There are many traditions that have been maintained throughout the time Coach Bainter has been the Head Coach. It takes a village of volunteers to make these things happen throughout the off-season (Auction) and during the season. We hope that each family will find the time to invest in the program the same way your player does. We will use online signup sheets to request volunteers when needed. This will include, auction planning, day of and night of help, picture day, team meals, selling programs, selling merchandise, putting up championship banners and sponsor banners to just name a few.
