Senior Year · 2026

Class of 2027

Four Years. One Last Season.

This is the year to show up — for every game, every tradition, every moment that marks the end of a four-year journey. Here's your guide to the senior year and how to make the most of it.

The Senior Year

How the Year Unfolds

The senior year runs from spring through the banquet. Here are the milestones that make it — the ones you'll want to be present for.

Apr

Spring Meetings & Decisions

The April 21 Parent Meeting kicks off the senior year logistics. This is when media guide tributes and senior-specific decisions start. Attend if you can — lots of information lands here.

May

Last Spring Ball

Spring practice April 29 – May 15 is the final spring your senior will wear an Indy jersey. The Spring Game is scheduled for May 15!

Jul

Media Day

Individual senior photos, team photos, position groups, and headshots for the media guide. Scheduled date: July 31

Aug

Banners Go Up, Season Begins

Senior banners go up on the fence before the season opener. Senior parents sign up to help put them up Friday mornings and take them down after games.

Aug

Friday Morning Seniors w/ Dad's Breakfasts Begin

Senior Friday morning breakfasts with Dads — guest speakers, community, and a weekly ritual before game day. Sign-up for hosting and speakers opens at the spring meeting.

Sr Nite

Senior Night

The emotional centerpiece of the year. Your senior walks out with family for pre-game recognition. Balloons, banners, the walk-out, the tribute video, the hug at midfield. Senior info collection happens in the weeks leading up — we need names, stats, family details, post-grad plans. Watch for the form.

Oct

Homecoming Week

Senior class leads the homecoming float build. A week of traditions packed into five days.

Oct 30

Final Regular-Season Game

Last game of the regular season. Depending on how the season plays out, this might also be your senior's last game in an Indy jersey. Come ready to cheer, come ready for emotions.

Nov

Playoffs (If We Qualify)

If the team advances, the season extends into November. Bonus weeks are gift weeks — every extra game is one more memory.

Dec

The Banquet

End of the road. Player awards, senior recognition, tribute videos, and a community gathering that closes four years. Seniors receive their gift. Family members are welcome. Plan to be there.

Optional

Capture the Moments

Ways to mark your senior's year — some paid, some free, some optional. Prices shown as ranges; final amounts confirmed at sign-up.

Included Free

Senior Headshot & Bio

Every senior gets a headshot and a brief bio in the media guide. These photos are taken during Media Day in July. No sign-up needed — your senior just needs to show up.

Game Day

Personalized Senior Banner

A custom banner that hangs on the fence at every home game. Your senior's photo, number, and name. Goes up before the opener and stays through senior night.

Photo Session

Fun Senior Picture Day

A group senior photo event — poses, props, friends, fun shots you won't get at Media Day. Details finalized closer to the session.

Family Spirit

Mom's Jersey

A custom jersey with your senior's number — for the mom in the stands every Friday night. Optional, ordered together so the whole senior-mom crew matches.

Game Day

Big Heads

Oversized cutouts of your senior's face — hilarious, mortifying, an instant photo op. A parent-section classic.

Senior Night

Senior Buttons

Personalized pin-on buttons for family members to wear on Senior Night. Grandparents especially love these.

Items and Activities marked "More to Come" will be communicated in the Senior Group Me and via Email. If you have other Senior ideas reach out to Tammy Langerbeins (Class of 2027 Parent Lead).
Senior Traditions

Show Up for These

The rituals that make senior year senior year. Most of these only happen once — be there.

Friday Mornings · Game Weeks

Breakfasts with Dads

Senior players and their dads gather Friday mornings before home games. Guest speakers rotate — coaches, alumni, community leaders. One of the traditions seniors remember most.

Sign-up opens: spring parent meeting. Hosts and speakers organized in advance.

Game Weeks · Rotating

Senior Dinner Nights

Seniors gather mid-week at a local restaurant — builds the brotherhood, gives them time outside of practice to just be kids. Parents host or meet separately.

Organized by: senior class lead parents. Watch GroupMe for the week's location.

Preseason · Date TBD

Social / Pool Party

A casual kickoff for senior families — pool, food, time to connect before the season gets intense. Hosted by a senior family volunteer.

Host volunteer needed. Reach out if your family can host.

October · Homecoming Week

Homecoming Float Build

Senior class leads the homecoming float. Build happens at a senior family's garage or driveway in the days leading up to homecoming. Pizza, music, and teenagers on ladders.

Location host needed. Build week announced in early October.

Home Game Fridays

Banner Setup & Takedown

Senior banners go up on the fence before every home game and come down after. It's a rotating sign-up among senior parents — takes 15 minutes, done in pairs.

Sign-up sheet: circulated via GroupMe at the start of the season.

Senior Night

The Walk-Out

Pre-game recognition where seniors are announced and walk out with their family members. Moms, dads, siblings, grandparents — whoever your senior wants by their side.
