It began with a sandlot baseball game between Ursuline Academy and the local elementary school in 1936. Children wanted to compete, but their skills were lacking. Mr. Al Carpy stepped in to fill the void and teach local children not only the athletic skills necessary to play baseball, football, basketball, track and boxing but also the "life skills" of teamwork, sacrifice, sportsmanship and character that would last a lifetime.  

For over 85 years, Carpy Gang Football has been teaching kids discipline and sportsmanship while strengthening character development.
