About
Eastside Crusaders Junior Football offers youth tackle football, flag football, and cheer. The program includes a faith-based athletic community with touchstones of Faith, Family, Football & Fun. Participants do not need to be Catholic or Eastside Catholic School students, and they may attend any school or be homeschooled, with no geographic restrictions for participation.
The program was founded in 2004. Its mission is modeled on the belief that a player’s character is just as important as his ability. All coaches complete mandatory training through USA Football, Positive Coaching Alliance, the Northwest Junior Football League (NJFL), and Eastside Crusaders Junior Football (ECJF). Coaches work directly with Eastside Catholic High School (ECHS) coaches in training and on the field. ECHS varsity football players and cheerleaders mentor youth players and cheerleaders through the Crusader Buddies program. The program focuses on solid football fundamentals to help prevent injury and prepare players for high school football. It is a Sammamish-based youth football and cheer program with alumni from many Seattle-area cities.
ECJF is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. ECJF teams have earned NJFL League Champion titles in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011 (two titles), 2013, and 2017. The cheer program has earned the 2017 Holiday Invitational Junior Tumbling Champions title, the 2018 Harbor CheerFest Junior Tumbling Champions title, and the 2018 Harbor CheerFest Youth Tumbling Champions title.
ECJF is a member of the Northwest Junior Football League (NJFL). The NJFL has partnered with UW Medicine and Seattle Children’s Hospital for a study on concussions in youth sports. Seattle Children’s Hospital provides care for youth athletes, and certified athletic trainers are present at every NJFL game. Every year NJFL coaches attend Positive Coaching Alliance training, and all NJFL games are officiated by Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association referees. ECJF identifies as a leader in player safety, including concussion awareness and prevention.
