Every year, the Sherwood Park Crusaders welcome players aged 16–20 to our community. Players don’t live on their own—each is placed with a local billet family who offers a place to sleep, support, meals, and a positive environment.

Billeting can be exciting and rewarding. Many past billet families look back with fond memories and stay in touch as players move through university and the professional ranks.
