About the Crush

The Eau Claire Crush is the Chippewa Valley's exclusive adult amateur football 501©(3) nonprofit organization.  The organization came to being in 2006, when a group of outstanding citizens came together with a single idea to provide the Chippewa Valley with quality entertainment at an affordable price, while simultaneously giving back to the communities that have lovingly supported them.  The Eau Claire Crush entered their inaugural season in 2007 as a member of the Great Plains Football League (GPFL).  We ended that season as the Eastern Conference Champions and runner-up to the GPFL championship. 

In 2008, the Crush joined with seven other teams to create the Northern Elite Football League (NEFL).  The NEFL is a non-profit organization formed to help promote adult amateur football and commitment to the community, while giving every team in the league an equal vote in operating the league.  The 2008 season again proved to be a successful campaign for the Crush, as we went undefeated in the regular season, bringing home the Eastern Conference championship; however, we were once again denied the league championship. 

The Crush are prepared to take the field for the 2009 season.  The NEFL expanded by two teams in the off-season, causing the league to restructure the conference by moving the Crush to the Western conference.  This season the Crush are led on the field by new Head Coach Todd Trapp with only one mission in mind, bringing home the NEFL Championship trophy!
