CHAMPIONING  CHANGE 

OUR GAME PLAN

Our mission is to provide youth athletes in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas with programs that go beyond the field

ONE PLAY AT A TIME.

Football is more than just a game—it's a catalyst for change. Our programs are designed to empower and inspire growth beyond the game.

HOW WE DO IT

BUILDING  SUCCESS 

ON AND OFF THE FIELD.

Through innovative programs, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, we aim to instill values of sportsmanship, inclusivity, and personal growth, ultimately shaping confident and compassionate leaders who will positively impact their communities and beyond.

Holistic Development

Our programs foster not only athletic skills but also character development, leadership, and teamwork, preparing youth for success in all aspects of life.

Inclusive & Equitable Access

We provide financial aid and scholarships to ensure that every athlete, regardless of background, can participate and thrive.

Exposure to Opportunities

National tournaments allow players access to scouts and recruiters increasing their chances for future athletic opportunities.

Community Impact

We create a positive, inclusive environment where youth athletes can build lifelong friendships and strong community ties.

Summer Crew Series

The Crew Series is a free, 7v7 tournament for high school players and adults. It's all about bringing friends together for summer fun and skill development. Enjoy a weekend of football action, including pool play, bracket play, and a championship game.
