Illinois Crusaders
The Illinois Crusaders is a Travel Club Football (Varsity) team
(8th to 12th grade).
​
We are open to high school-aged boys.
Homeschool, public, & private.
We follow (IHSA) Illinois High School Association football guidelines.
The team is a member of the Great Lakes Christian Athletic Conference (GLCAC), which comprises seven teams in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Our Mission Statement
"GROWING young men THROUGH God's WORD"
Through love, grace, and leadership reflecting the example of Jesus
We will support and inspire our players.
Ultimately, they will discover their full potential physically, spiritually, and mentally. We are committed to guiding them in using the talents God has given them.
Philippians 2:3-4
ABOUT THE CRUSADERS
The focus of the Illinois Crusaders is on molding boys into men who understand the importance of leadership rather than just focusing on winning football. Our coaches aim to help players develop a servanthood mentality and the ability to model Christ both on and off the field.
​
Crusader Football will strive to achieve faith, academics, and football as separate entities. This, in turn, enables the preparation of life our players go through to equip them to become changers of this world for Christ and his Kingdom. Do you think you have what it takes? Come on over!
