Who We Are:
The Markham
Raiders are a senior mens amateur football club that
competes in the Northern Football Conference.
The team was

opportunities for outstanding athletes, from the Markham
area, to develop life skills through competition and
teamwork, and,

highly competitive team which reflects the standard of
excellence associated with the Markham Raiders Football
Club Inc. and the City of Markham.
The Markham
Raiders objectives are to:

the best football team in the Great Lakes Region, and,

all aspects of the team and the program to the highest
level.
