About us
WELCOME To TheCrusaders Futsal Club
Crusaders FC is a family focused and orientated club on the Gold Coast providing professional futsal and football coaching to players from 3 years old.
The club was established on the Gold Coast in 2013 by Head Coach, Glynn Boyd and his family. Glynn’s football career spans over 30 years as both a professional player and coach. His coaching credentials include UEFA and FFA licencing.
Crusaders FC has rapidly established itself as one of the leading and most successful clubs in Queensland for player development. The coaching team at the club has expanded to deliver a variety of professional programs to players of all skill level, schools, childcare centres, football clubs and athletes with disabilities. More recently Crusaders have embarked on international football tours to provide a diverse range of opportunity for members as well as player pathways.
The coaching sessions at Crusaders are focused on the technical and tactical aspects of the game as well as promoting player confidence in a fun learning environment. Players are supported and encouraged to learn and respect the game as well as learning valuable life skills that are adaptable both on and off the court/field of play.
The four corners of the Crusaders development program (technical, tactical, physical and psychological) will be practiced and assessed at every session. Crusaders FC is committed to nurturing, progressing and developing all players to be the best version of themselves.

Testimonials
What our parents and players say
I wanted to reach our to extend my heartfelt thanks for the way in which yourself and your club welcomed my daughter Georgia at the most recent GCI. My husband and I have been around the game for a very long time – 30 years in fact as players, coaches and administrators. When given the opportunity to play in the Gold Coast International tournament this year for the first time, we really did not know what to expect. Georgia was hesitant and not confident that she would fit in to the established squad. Not only did yourself, Sam and Helen welcome her and our family with open arms, but from the start, you made Georgia feel right at home. After the first training session, she came home beaming! After a disappointing end to her Nationals campaign, Georgia was now smiling again. As a parent, I cannot thank you enough for that. You should be very proud of what you have achieved with the Crusaders Futsal Club. Your values and morals stand loud and clear and everyone that we had the pleasure of meeting and communicating with demonstrated the same.
Glynn and the coaches at Crusaders Futsal have a way of bringing the best out of the players both in the game and as young men and women. They have genuine belief in the player and push them to reach out of their comfort zone to achieve greatness. All the coaches and manager’s hard work and dedication to their teams is inspiring and shows true passion for the game, it is contagious and motivating, exactly what the young players need. Taj has loved every minute of being at Crusaders Futsal, forming new friendships with great teammates and thriving off the fantastic coaching. We highly recommend being a part of this amazing football family. Up the Crues!
As a new player to the club, Glynn, all the coaches and players made me feel welcome right from the start. This year I grew so much as a player, my skills and confidence improved under the guidance and belief of Glynn. The Crusaders Futsal club is more than just a team it’s a football family that supports each other, pushes each other and celebrates with each other. I loved playing as a Crusader’s player, proud to put on the jersey and represent the club. Up the Crues!
