Smile for the camera, Crusaders…then it’s time to get ready for another weekend of football! 📸➡️🏈

Great start to the season for our 3rd/4th Grade Crusaders! 🏈⚔️ The Crusaders picked up a 26–13 victory over St. Francis Xavier yesterday!

Our youngest Crusaders played hard, competed together, and showed how much they’ve already learned since the start of practice. For many of these players, these are their first real football games, and it’s exciting to watch their confidence grow every time they take the field.

Great job, Crusaders, and thank you to St. Francis Xavier for a great game!

What a game! 🏈⚔️ Our 5th Grade Gold Crusaders battled from start to finish today and came away with a thrilling 20–18 victory over River Valley!

This was youth football at its best — two teams competing hard, making big plays, and fighting all the way to the final whistle. Great job by our Crusaders for staying together and finding a way to get the win!

Thank you to River Valley for an outstanding game and to all the families and fans who came out to support these young athletes.

Great win, Crusaders! 💪🏈

What a way to open the season! 🏈⚔️ Our 6th Grade Crusaders came out firing today, earning a 32–6 victory over the Lancers at Edgewood!

Even better than the final score was getting some of our newer players valuable game experience. Those opportunities are a huge part of youth football—building confidence, learning the game, and developing the next group of Crusaders.

Great job by the entire team, and thank you to the Lancers for making the trip to Edgewood.
1–0. Great start. Back to work! 💪

Tough one today for our 7th/8th Grade Crusaders, falling 18–0 to a strong West Regents team at Edgewood.

The scoreboard didn’t go our way, but there’s a lot of football still ahead. We’ll learn from it, get back to work this week, and keep getting better together.

Congratulations to the Regents on a well-played game, and thank you to everyone who came out to support both teams!

HOLD THE ROPE! 🏈💪

🏈 GAME DAY REMINDERS AT EDGEWOOD.

We’re excited to welcome players, coaches, families, and fans to Edgewood High School for a full day of youth football this Saturday!

We want to make sure everyone—home and visiting fans alike—helps create the positive environment our young athletes deserve. A few important reminders:

• Cheer FOR your team—not against the other team.
• Treat opposing players, coaches, families, and officials with respect.
• Officials’ decisions are final. Please do not confront or argue with officials.
• Spectators must remain in designated spectator areas and stay off the playing field, team sidelines, and warm-up areas.
• Only credentialed coaches, players, officials, Program Directors, and approved volunteers are permitted in restricted areas.
• Please follow all Edgewood Campus and facility rules while attending games. These rules should have been shared with you this week by your program director or coach.

Most importantly, adults should never engage in confrontations with other spectators. If there is an issue with another fan, coach, or parent, please find a Crusader Youth Football or league representative and allow us to address it.

These games are about the kids. Passion, excitement, and enthusiastic support are always welcome—but disrespectful, confrontational, or inappropriate behavior is not.

Crusader Youth Football, Edgewood High School, the Forward Youth Football League, and the Capital Region Youth Football League are committed to maintaining a safe, positive, and respectful environment for our athletes. Spectators, coaches, or players who fail to meet those expectations may be removed from the event, and additional disciplinary action may be taken when appropriate.

Please cheer loudly, support the kids, respect the officials and opposing teams, and help us make youth football the positive experience it is intended to be.

Whether you're wearing Crusader colors or cheering for one of our visiting programs, we appreciate your help making Edgewood a safe, respectful, and FUN place to play youth football.

Good luck to all of the teams competing this weekend! 🏈
