About Us
Our Team
The Cardinals were formed to help boys and girls ages 6-14 become great students, athletes and pillars in their community. We strive to help our community's children "Take Charge" of their lives by enhancing social/life skills, such as, teamwork, cooperation, sportsmanship and discipline, using sports as the draw.
Our Home Field
In 2016, our program grew tremendously. We had over 100 boys and girls participate in our football & cheer program, a 50% increase from 2015.
Serving youth in Greater Cleveland comes with many challenges such as players unable to pay fees, violence, and a lack of transportation, just to name a few. Our volunteers do what is necessary to ensure that every child participates, gets to practice and is in a safe environment at all times. Our success this year just shows what can be done when people come together and do what is best for kids!
Off Season
Our players aren't just members of a team, they are members of our community. In the off-season, we will begin to work with local charities to bring sports and hope to everyone in our community. At each game, you get a chance to contribute to these efforts. We believe that sportsmanship doesn't stop at the edge of the field.
