Important Announcement: Age Changes Starting Fall of '26
Hendricks Elite FC Families,
Starting with the 2026–27 season, US Youth Soccer and Indiana Soccer will transition to a school-year age group structure based on an August 1–July 31 calendar. As a member of US Youth Soccer and Indiana Soccer, Hendricks Elite FC (HEFC) has adopted this new age-group structure, beginning with tryouts in June 2026. Accordingly, HEFC will require players to register and undergo evaluations within their updated age groups based on the new August 1 cutoff. As a result, some players will be placed on a different team beginning with the Fall 2026 season. In limited cases, players (primarily at the high school level) may be invited to play up.
