RAPTOR CLUB GOALS

     The purpose of the RIVER CITY RAPTORS SOCCER CLUB is to identify female youth soccer players in the individual age groups U9 to U18 in the North Alabama area who are able and interested in developing their soccer skills to a high level. In providing higher level club soccer for female athletes, it is the intent of the River City Raptors Soccer Club to raise the level of soccer participation in the Decatur and North Alabama area at all levels, from Recreational to the Olympic Development Program.


"Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. Just do it." -Nike Ad
