Dear Crusaders families,

We understand that this period of time presents many challenges for all of our families and our goal at Crusaders Soccer Club is to help our members in any way that we can until daily life returns to as normal as possible. Our team of directors and staff are working hard to ensure the continuation of training opportunities and resources that can be done from the comfort of your homes.

With this in mind, Crusaders created the following series of training videos below. This allows our players to keep actively engaged in their training with specialized challenges for each of the age groups to measure their ongoing progress until the season resumes and comes back to normal. Crusaders have also partnered with MOTI Sports for anyone to access their 3D animated training app through December for FREE.
