About the Player Development Program

At the Southern Raiders, we're committed to helping young athletes unlock their potential — both on and off the field.

Who is it for?

Our Player Development Program (PDP) provides a focused environment for players aged U12 and U14 who are passionate about improving their game and pushing themselves to the next level.

What to expect

Through advanced coaching, tailored development, and a supportive team culture, the PDP encourages players to strive for excellence, teamwork, and a lifelong love for the beautiful game.
