They have led the Varsity Bears football team for several years and now the coaches of Brownsboro High School will be holding a noncontact camp June 2-5.

For the fifth year in a row the BHS coaching staff will teach young football fans and players football fundamentals, lessons in proper conditioning and nutrition, goal setting, sportsmanship and more.

Football fundamentals taught at the camp will include stance, running, blocking and tackling techniques. Passing, ball handling, receiving, punting, kicking, defensive skills, movement and agility drills will also be taught.

Several players who will take the field during the 2008- 09 football season for the varsity Bears have taken part in this camp in years past.

The Camp will begin on Monday, June 2 and continue through Thursday, June 5. The camp begins at 9:00am and concludes at 12:30pm each day. On Friday the campers will have their picture taken to appear in The Statesman.

Location for the camp will be at the Track Field once again. The coaches will separate the camp into two groups to ensure proper training and teaching.

Kids entering 2nd-8th are encouraged to attend the camp. Group one will consist of kids 2nd-5th grade while group two will be 6th-8th.

Included in the $35 fee for the camp will be a camp tshirt, football, certificate of participation, individual awards and a Brownsboro athletics back pack.

Coach Settle stated that the last four camps have had more than 150 kids in attendance. There will be walk-up registration but it is recommended to register early by filling out the attached form. All wallups will be accepted.

Kids need to wear tennis shoes or football shoes to the camp, socks and a t-shirt.

Prizes will be awarded to winners of individual and team competitions

The learning does not stop with football information as the kids attending the camp will also learn lessons in leadership, citzenship, the importance of attitude, discipline, work ethic, pride and team concept. These are the qualities of a champion.
