Welcome to Drexel Hill Raiders Football

We are a proud member of the Bert Bell Memorial Football Conference

Raiders Football is for all kids ages 5 through 13

Flag Football is 5-6

Tackle football is 7-13

All players will receive a game jersey!

All our coaches are trained and certified for USA Football's Heads Up Program

2023 AGE DIVISIONS:

After thoroughly vetting all options, the Bert Bell Conference has concluded that aligning ages more appropriately has a greater importance than capping weights at each level. We feel that every child should have the opportunity to play Football with their classmates. The new alignment also allows for players to grow at a natural pace without fear of needing to play "up" due to body type. Each level will still offer a Varsity and Junior Varsity structure. Birthdate is based on July 31st

No refunds will be given for any sport after the first week of practice.
Payments MUST be made in full before participating.

The Bert Bell Memorial Football Conference has Territories. Children that are eligible to attend the following schools are in our territory: Aroninmink, Garretford, Highland Park, and Hillcrest. If you live outside this area, there are other teams available to you. Please check the Bert Bell Website to see the territories. Players outside our territory can play for the Raiders if circumstances warrant. A Waiver would have to be filled out and signed by the home team. Waivers can be downloaded HERE
