About Us

Our Mission

Raiders Football Club was established to provide the highest levels of quality soccer training for players and to enhance their social, emotional and physical well-being, in a positive and safe learning environment. 

Our Philosophy

New England Surf Raiders Football Club will create an environment where our players develop a love of soccer and continue to participate in the sport throughout their lifetime. To achieve this goal, we must develop an environment where we teach a creative, attacking, and possession-style soccer built on a foundation of strong technical skills. 

In adopting this style of soccer, we strive to foster an environment free from the “fear of failure”, where our players can explore and be creative without the fear of making mistakes. We believe that such an environment, with no limitations is where our players can grow the most and realize their potential as players and people. The motivation to play attractive soccer must be greater than the fear of losing. 


Partnership with New England Surf

In 2022, Raiders Football Club joined the New England Surf family and rebranded to "New England Surf Raiders FC". Led by experienced coaches, New England Surf Raiders FC will provide high quality programming and a clear development pathway for players & families within Watertown, MA and surrounding areas.

“We are delighted to bring “New England Surf RFC” into our Community” says Tommaso Trevisan, New England Surf General Manager. “Collaborating with another local club allow us to provide additional playing and coaching opportunities along with sharing best practices to deliver the mission of  creating the Best of the Best experiences for players, coaches and families”.
