Wildcats Gridiron Club: Welcome
The Wildcats Gridiron Club, representing the football program for Belleville High School, was established in May 2010 to continue the proud tradition of community support for high school football in the Belleville, Exeter, Montrose, Paoli, Primrose and Vineyville communities. The primary function of the Wildcats Gridiron Club is to support the Belleville High School football team. This support comes in many different ways. Volunteering time, fund-raising, supporting events like Homecoming, Prom, as well as helping with the development of youth football players in partnership with the Belleville "Bobcats" Youth Football (http://www.babobcatyouthfootball.com) program. The success of the players on and off the field comes easier with the support and backing of the community.
VISION - Our vision is to build a football tradition that will encourage and support the Belleville High School team, increase interest, participation, and loyalty within the entire school communities. We will honor and celebrate the memory and tradition of those players who previosly played at Belleville High School.
MISSION - Our mission is to support the Belleville High School Football program on Capital Expenditures that are not included in the high school budget.
GOAL - To reach a level of excitement by enhancing our team with materials and important equipment not included in the annual school budget.

Reigning NCAA Division III National Champions, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks, will be hosting their annual summer football camps this June. The camps are broken into 3 groups; the Perimeter Camp, Youth Camp and Lineman Camp.
All 3 camps take place over the course of 3 days and allow campers the option to stay overnight. Pads are needed and can be rented from UW-W or borrowed from the High School. Pricing for all 3 camps is $295 for residents/overnight campers and $260 for those who commute. A $25 discount is available if 10 or more students from the same school attend. All groups must register together.
The Perimeter Camp (Grades 9-12) takes place from June 18th- 20th and is for those who play quarterback, running back, tight end, wide receiver, defensive back and linebacker. Campers work on both offensive and defensive aspects of the game in small groups and individual practice sessions.
The Youth Football Camp (Grades 4-8) focuses on fundamentals and technique for those younger players learning the game. Campers will work equally on offensive and defense, learning the ins and outs of every position. The Youth Camp runs from June 24th-26th.
The Lineman Camp (Grades 7-12) is held from June 24th-26th and is for both offensive and defensive lineman. Campers are put through various group and individual drills to not only teach fundamental techniques for the field but also concentrates on the mental challenges of a lineman as well.

Attention Wildcat Football players and parents!!! The weight room at Belleville HIgh School is now open to all student athletes planning to play football this fall. Andrew Vetter will be available to assist in working out with the players 3 times a week; the current schedule is as follows:
Monday: 7:30 PM
Wednesday: 7:30
Saturday: TBD
The Monday and Wednesday sessions will take about 1 hour and Saturday will be approximately 1.5 hours. Times can/will be changed to accommodate as many athletes as possible. If you cannot make a scheduled workout, it will be posted outside the weight room the following day for those who missed the group workout.
The system itself is structured in a way that each participant will receive individual attention to maximize their potential. There is no script that can be handed out; each workout (reps, sets, lifts, agility's etc...) will be tailored to the player. This will allow for the student-athlete to work at their ability level. For example, a Freshman Running Back will have a different workout than a Senior Lineman but they will both be working within the system. Each player will still be working out under the same philosophy with the same goals but the path to get there will be a little different. This will allow for Andrew and others to quickly identify strengths and weakness of each athlete quickly and set the best course of action.
If anyone has questions, comments or concerns, please contact Andrew Vetter at (608) 957-2522 or via email at avetter60@yahoo.com.
The Wildcat Football season is just around the corner; the time to prepare is now!
