About Crow River Revolution

The Crow River Revolution (CR Rev) is a not for profit program, based out of Rockford, with teams at 14U and above.

Teams  consist of athletes from Rockford, as well as other communities, who desire to play at a competitive level, continue to develop their skills and knowledge of the game while meeting new players.   

For the 2019-2020 Season we anticipate having teams playing at Gold, A and B levels of play.

Revolution coaches have a high level of experience (either playing or coaching at the high school or collegiate level).

This program provides multiple opportunities for high quality year-round training and/or individual instruction, clinics and team practices.  We are supportive and encouraging of multi-sport players and offer ways for them to improve and connect to the team in the off season as well.  Players will have the ability to grow to the level of their desire.

Home fields for games and practices are Rockford High School Fields in Rockford, MN.
