Program Development & Team Assignments

  • Varsity is pushing for a playoff berth. Practice will run until 6:30 PM for both Varsity and JV all week.

  • Playoff seeding is determined by the RPI formula, which you can view here:

  • JV and Freshman teams are finishing their game schedules, but this remains a vital development phase. Continued focus and effort are essential.

👕 Practice Jerseys & Team Gear Reminder

All players (Freshman through Senior) should now have:

  • A practice jersey

  • Full team-issued gear

If any items are missing, players must see Coach Croft immediately.

🚨 Reminder: Team gear is mandatory for all practices, weight room sessions, and team events.

Please speak with your athlete about the importance of:

  • Consistent attendance

  • Full participation

Both are key indicators of commitment and growth.

🎓 College Recruiting Update

We have an extensive network of college programs that actively recruit from Hendricken, and they consistently express interest in our student-athletes.

Recently, your children were asked twice to complete a recruiting information form that we share directly with college coaches. To date, we’ve received only 17 responses.

If your child is serious about playing college football, especially if they are a senior, please have them:

  • Check their Hudl messages

  • Complete the recruiting form promptly

This step is critical to ensure they are included in ongoing college recruiting conversations.
