Team & Parent Meeting Sets the Tone for an Exciting 2025 Campaign



On Monday evening, April 29, 2025, the Notre Dame High School football program officially kicked off its 98th season with an enthusiastic and well-attended team and parent meeting. Head Coach Brent Hill and his staff gathered with players, parents, and booster club supporters to share the vision for what promises to be a powerful and purposeful year of Fighting Irish football.

Coach Hill opened the meeting by praising the team’s outstanding progress in the weight room this offseason. “The gains we’ve seen—physically and mentally—are as strong as we’ve had in years,” Hill said. “This group is putting in the work, showing up consistently, and buying into what it means to be part of something bigger than themselves.”

The meeting focused not just on physical preparation but also on the culture of the program. Coach Hill emphasized that success in 2025 will be built on accountability, toughness, unity, and relentless effort. These core values are shaping a team that is disciplined, determined, and ready to rise to the challenge on and off the field.

Coaches also outlined expectations for the summer schedule, academic standards, and what it will take to earn playing time and leadership roles this fall. Parents were encouraged to be engaged partners in supporting their sons—helping reinforce the values and discipline that define the program.

The atmosphere in the room reflected more than just excitement about football—it was about pride, commitment, and a shared belief in what it means to wear the gold helmet and represent Notre Dame High School. With nearly a century of tradition behind them, this year’s team is focused on writing a new chapter—one defined by hard work, brotherhood, and the Fighting Irish spirit.

As the countdown to fall begins, there’s a growing sense that something special is building. The 98th season of Notre Dame football is more than just another year—it’s a movement. And it starts now.
