About
The Notre Dame Little Crusaders program is dedicated to teaching and reinforcing the fundamental skills used by Notre Dame’s varsity sports teams. Through structured coaching and competitive play, we strive to develop young athletes both on and off the field. Our teams compete in leagues throughout the Lehigh Valley, providing athletes with opportunities to grow in a challenging yet supportive environment. Our mission is to foster character, sportsmanship, self-confidence, responsibility, and teamwork in every participant. We aim to create a positive and structured setting where young athletes not only build their athletic skills but also gain a strong sense of community.
