Thank you for your interest in the Lackawanna College Football Program. Unfortunately, we have reached our player limit for this upcoming season and are no longer recruiting any additional players. You will not have an opportunity to be evaluated for our football team for this semester; however, students are encouraged to apply for the spring semester. Also, our student housing policy states that all full time students, who do not commute from the home of their parent, legal guardian, or spouse must reside in campus housing.
If you have not already done so, please submit a copy of a game videotape or DVD for review by our football staff and they will begin evaluating candidates for the spring semester in the near future. When sending the game tape, please include the following information for identification purposes: position, jersey color and number, height and weight. Please note that a game tape must be submitted to be considered as a student athlete for our football team and will not be returned. Upon review of the videotape, you will be contacted by phone or mail regarding your status.
