Who We Are
Elizabeth City Crusaders, a highly competitive sports program for homeschooled student-athletes, is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization whose home gym is located in Elizabeth City, NC. When we have enough qualifying student athletes, we field as many teams within the North Carolinians for Home Education Athletic Conference (NCHEAC) as possible; as such, we are thereby considered to be a sanctioned, non-member team of the NCHSAA (North Carolina High School Athletic Association).
Our athletes are middle and high school-aged and come from the Albemarle Region of North Carolina to include but not limited to Pasquotank, Camden, Perquimans, Currituck, Gates, and Bertie Counties. We compete against other homeschools in the NCHEAC league as well as private school and public school teams in the area which are considered non-conference. All players must be homeschooled students as recognized by the State of North Carolina and adhering to NCHEAC eligibility requirements OR are enrolled in a small Christian hybrid school with NO sports program during the current academic year.
Our organization is completely volunteer-driven, we are more than “just sports,” we are a community. Our players and families highly value building relationships that are long-lasting and extend beyond the game. We are building eternal friendships.
