ALSO...
The Kutztown Cougar Football Program recently had the privilege of supporting Coach Angela Bucci and her Lady Cougar Twirling Squad at their annual competition at Kutztown High School. The Kutztown High School Drumline and Dancing Programs performed their routines with great spirit and enthusiasm. The hard work these students put into their programs was evident by the "Attention to Detail " displayed in their routines.
The Twirling competition was the highlight of the evening. This was evident by the electricity and excitement displayed by the fans inside the gymnasium. Coach Bucci and her squad stole the show. The Kutztown High School Twirling Team performance was near perfect. The Dedication, Discipline and Team Unity these ladies put into their performance shows the great work-ethic Coach Bucci instills into her teams.
The Kutztown Cougar Football Program would like to congratulate the Kutztown Twirling Squad, Coach Bucci and her assistants on a great performance. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE !!

To the potential players of KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL:
This will be the first of several letters that you will receive regarding what you can expect from KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL, and what will be expected from you. If this is
your first year with us, read them carefully. If you have been here before and feel you have heard it all, I urge you to read them again; we can’t take anything for granted. A total commitment requires a thorough understanding of our goals. No one can fully extend himself without knowing exactly what is expected and why.
KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL will begin with a winter conditioning and strength program and progress through spring practice. Although football is a highly organized game, there are few activities that place such an enormous premium on just sheer effort. We know that your mental stance is as important as your physical ability and want to begin by pointing out this incredibly important aspect of your team. I have seen students of modest ability become effective players simply because they placed football as a high priority and thoroughly applied themselves.
KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL is designed as a phase of your education and is compatible with your studies. The content of our program includes loyalty, discipline, and a physical test of strength, endurance, and courage. It is an experience in sacrifice where you will be asked to set aside personal goals for team objectives.
KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL represents a special opportunity for young men of your age. Your
football experience will be a fleeting one, and I urge you to recognize that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before it eludes you. It is an unforgiving experience in that each game is played just once, and the results are related to the extent of your effort in preparation and playing.
You have only one opportunity to experience KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL.
You will recognize the rules that are necessary for the discipline of a team. Remember, the best prepared, most committed team has the best chance of being successful. You will recognize the discipline of individual assignments, which makes the team concept of football possible, and it enables you to continue to play successfully even though things may not be going well for you personally. Discipline creates togetherness; it also enables a football team to be successful. It is only through this approach that we can stay together when things become difficult.
Accepting the responsibility of being part of KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL is no
small task and a great deal is expected of you. It is my hope that you will accept this responsibility with a great deal of pride, and enjoy the feeling of having made your team successful. I will speak often of KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL with great pride, and again urge you to make a commitment to become a member of what could be a great football team. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and hope that you will join the KUTZTOWN FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
