about us
Who We Are
Central Park Rangers FC is one of New York City’s most stable and community-driven football clubs, proudly representing the city for more than 25 years. Since our founding in 1999, CPR has grown into a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming home for footballers from all backgrounds and experience levels.
We are built on passion for the game, respect for one another, and a commitment to creating an environment where people can compete, improve, and connect. CPR is more than a club. It is a community that has shaped friendships, careers, and lifelong memories.
Our Mission & What We Stand For
Our mission is to create a positive, supportive football environment where players can grow on and off the pitch. We believe in fairness, integrity, and respect in everything we do, whether we are competing, training, or representing the club in the community.
Mission Statement
CPR is an inclusive club. Regardless of religion, race, where you come from or socioeconomic situation, we strive to provide a friendly and healthy environment where people can meet and grow as footballers and individuals. We are driven by a passion for football and always try our best on the pitch, but never at the expense of our ethos of fairness, integrity, and respect.
We know the immensely positive impact that being a member of this club can have: it has literally changed many of our member’s lives. People have met their spouses, life-long friends, and stayed in New York when the chance of a move arose, because of CPR. Every player, coach, manager, volunteer and person involved with CPR should be cognizant of this when representing the club. They should take satisfaction in endeavoring to add to, and build upon, the goodwill and hard work of those that have built the club from nothing.
Code Of Conduct
The club stands for representing the best aspects of sport. We play hard but fair and always respect our fellow club members and opponents. Racism and bigotry will absolutely not be tolerated under any circumstances.
As inclusion is a major cornerstone of our club, rather than expel someone who has stepped out of line from the club, we work to assimilate them into our ethos. However, incidents of indiscipline are bound to happen, and when they do, they are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If someone acts in a way that is not representative of the club, they will generally be given a second chance, but if improper behavior persists they will be asked to find another club.
OUR SPONSORS
Our sponsors are the backbone of this event, powering every step forward. We thank them for their trust, support, and partnership.
