Interested in playing for the Raiders?

The Swarco Raiders Tirol belong to the largest and most successful American Football League in Europe and are presently ranked as the #3 Team in the European Association.

How do I become a Member?

The first three practices are free of charge and serve mostly so that the player and coaches can get to know each other. If in fact after three practices you want to become a member of the Raiders family, you will then have to officially sign up. Your specific coach will then make sure you get all the necessary information. Additionally, your coach will be very helpful in getting you out fitted with all the appropriate equipment.

The level of play depends on your age:
