About Us
Raiders is a north DFW based youth soccer academy founded by parents who saw a need for a youth soccer academy that focuses on technique and skill acquisition as well as tactical and strategic play. We strive to foster a close knit atmosphere and deliver a profound experience to our players, and parents by understanding that it’s our responsibility to not only develop soccer players, but also future leaders.
Our Story
In 2018 a group of brand new little soccer rockers joined a recreational soccer team with a parent coach. The boys quickly became the best of friends and learned to love the game. Though the players were mostly just playing for fun, they started to experience great success and quickly became quite competitive. Each player’s technique and understanding of the game significantly improved and they literally went from worst to first and began dominating nearly every game they played.
As the players grew, it was clear that they were ready to take their soccer skills to the next level and face more competitive teams. To enter a more competitive environment it became clear that the development of Raiders TC was necessary. Now Raiders has multiple teams who are given several opportunities to to advance their skills including bi-weekly trainings, involvement in multiple leagues, and local and out of state tournament opportunities.
Our Focus
Raiders TC focuses on player development in a fun, yet challenging environment. Advancing the players technical and tactical abilities is our focus. We believe that the forming of correct technique and skill is critically important in developing a high level player. Being able to use those skills under pressure while applying their tactical knowledge in the game.
Our goal is to develop each player as an individual to fulfill his or her maximum potential. Our objective is to impart teamwork, feeling sense of accomplishment, and fair play. A collaboration of these attributes help to develop the soccer player and the person as one entity.
Our mission is to provide a professional, secure, and positive soccer environment while developing young players. We strive to expand the players’ capabilities so that they are able to compete at the highest levels successfully.
Raiders practices for an hour and a half twice a week. Part of that time is dedicated to technique and skill acquisition and part on tactical play. Players will have the opportunity to compete in multiple leagues and attend local and out of state tournaments. The goal is to help players achieve a complete mastery of the game, allowing them to develop into a player of technical brilliance with tactical knowledge and maximum mental & physical capacities to reach their full potential.
