The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and plays in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference against teams from Albany, Brooklyn, New Rochelle, Ottawa, Providence, St. Albans, and Uniondale.
The Crusaders are one of the most successful minor-league soccer teams in the United States, having been national PDL champions twice, in 2002 and 2003. The team is also one of the most long-lasting teams, having played in four different leagues, at two different levels, over the course of more than a decade. In the mid 2000s the Crusaders became part of the Massachusetts Premier Soccer (MPS) organisation, which runs soccer schools and noth senior and junior amateur leagues across Massachusetts, with the intent of developing and promoting the game.
The Crusaders play their home games at the stadium on the grounds Barnstable High School in the village of Hyannis, Massachusetts, around 70 miles south-east of Boston. The team's colors are red and white.
