About Raptors
Get to know us
It is no secret that there are individual and social benefits to participating in sport, particularly team sports. Our club is dedicated to producing skilled players who play our sport with integrity. It is our mission to create a culture that benefits our members personally but also in the greater community by having a strong foundation of core values. We encourage our members to grow as leaders, competitors and teammates.
Where do you train?

Our pre-season sessions are held on Sunday mornings at Ridley Reserve Elizabeth. The 24/25 season will start pre-season training from the 25th of August. Look for the Raptors flags to locate our club.
We then move to our usual training grounds at the Parafield Gardens Soccer and Sports Club on Bradman Road, Parafield Gardens once the oval becomes available after soccer season. We use social media to update people with any venue changes.

Seniors at 11:00am
Once day light savings begins we will train at Parafield Gardens on a Tuesday evening. ​
Junior Grades start at 5pm
Senior Grades start at 6pm
