CARPY GANG HISTORY

Who We Are?

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


Carpy Gang offers Flag Football to all 1st through 8th graders in St. Helena and Calistoga.


We play with three grade divisions, Pee-Wee, Junior Varsity and Varsity.

  • Pee-Wee: 1, 2, and 3 grade
  • Junior Varsity: 4 and 5 grade
  • Varsity: 6, 7 and 8 grade
