Documentation

Before hitting the field, players must submit a current sports physical, birth certificate, and proof of school district verification for the 2026 season.

Fee Structure

Registration fees are structured to provide high-quality coaching, safe equipment, and an accessible experience for every Crusader family.

ELIGIBILITY & SEASON FEES

ORGANIZATION POLICIES

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Central Penn Crusaders maintain a zero-tolerance policy for unsportsmanlike behavior. Respect for coaches, teammates, and officials is the foundation of our program.

GEAR & COMMITMENT

Players are responsible for all issued equipment. Helmets and pads must be cleaned weekly. Attendance at all scheduled practices is mandatory to ensure team safety and readiness.

The Crusader Parent Code

Registration implies a commitment to our shared values. We expect every parent and guardian to uphold the standard of leadership and integrity that defines our program.

Leadership Integrity

Support all athletes, coaches, and staff with unwavering positivity. Honor the game and our community with every action on and off the field.

Sideline Discipline

Let the coaches coach. Sideline coaching causes confusion for players and disrupts the team dynamic. Trust the process.

The 24-Hour Wait

Allow emotions to settle before addressing concerns. We enforce a 24-hour rule to ensure that all discussions are productive and respectful.

Unity & Values

You are an ambassador for the Crusaders. Foster a supportive environment for all families and represent our program with pride.

PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

Being a Crusader means leadership, integrity, and sportsmanship. Every player is expected to hold themselves to the highest standard on and off the field, representing our community with pride.

UNWAVERING INTEGRITY

Play hard, play fair, and respect the decision of game officials without argument. Victory is empty without honor.

DEDICATED BROTHERHOOD

Dedication to team success over individual stats. No gossip, no bullying—only support and shared growth.
