Our goal is to grow young boys into men by upholding the standards and program values that will equip our players to achieve their future goals. We will help our players by showing the love, grace, and leadership Jesus showed. 
Ultimately, players will discover just what they are capable of physically, spiritually, and mentally. 
We will guide our players to reach their potential with the talents God gave to them.
The standards will be seen in how we practice, talk, lead, & coach!

The Illinois Crusaders aims for its players to a reach a higher level beyond only winning football games - we consistently strive towards growing our young men into leaders! Our dedicated coaches aim to have players willing to serve others and display Christlike attitudes on & off the football field.

​

In our pursuit of excellence, Crusader Football will integrate faith, academics, and football distinctly. As a result, the life preparation our players experience readies them to be agents of change in this world for Christ and His Kingdom. Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to meet you!
