competitive Sports
Illinois CRU is a competitive high school and junior high soccer program. We look to foster a sense of community both on and off the field with our players and families. We strive to promote teamwork and commitment amongst our players. We have players in a variety of skill levels and soccer backgrounds. We look to develop and challenge players over the course of the season. We want our players to improve and mature whilst enjoying the sport of soccer. We play various public and private high schools and other homeschool teams in Illinois. We are always looking for our players to be respectful and edifying in their behavior both on and off the field.
We are gauging interest for our Spring 2025 Girl's Season
and our Fall 2025 Boy's and Junior High Season
