We will offer a 5th grade and a 6th grade Crusader football team. Our PDS coaches will be coaching these teams with Mark Fruitt heading up the 5th Grade team and Paul Warner heading up the 6th Grade team.
The Crusaders are competitive level teams and are for boys that want more games and practices in addition to the PDS Intramural football league. There are no tryouts; however, playing time is not guaranteed. Therefore, these teams may not be for everyone.
Because both programs complement each other, Crusader football players are strongly encouraged to also play in the PDS Intramural football league.

Equipment
All players should provide their own shoulder pads, white football pants, cleats, and white helmet for practice. Players will also be able to use this equipment for Intramural football as well. The school will provide the game uniform and game helmet for Crusaders.
