An FA Charter Community Club
Berkhamsted Raiders Community Football Club is the only FA Charter Community Standard Club in the Dacorum District. This year we will be running 29 teams, starting with the Under 7's and going all the way through to the adult team and including 4 girls teams. This year, Berkhamsted Raiders was awarded Sports Club of the Year in the Dacorum Excellence Awards.
As a club we encourage all parents to support good play, and sportsmanship, irrespective of which team is playing and we praise effort and performance more than results. As an FA Charter Community Club, we operate to the highest standards set by the FA for youth football clubs. We take the Standard very seriously, and all players, managers, coaches and spectators are expected to adhere to our codes of conduct.We are based at the Berkhamsted Sports and Social Club, Kitcheners Field, Castle Hill, Berkhamsted. Matches are normally played on Saturdays (girls) and Sundays (mixed, boys and seniors) between September and March. Each team trains once per week.

Raiders win Community Club of the Year
At the Herts FA Awards this week:
-
Raiders won
Community Club of the Year.
A wonderful achievement. To be nominated as FA Charter Community Club of the year pits us against the very best clubs in the County; to win Community Club of the Year means that we are the best of the best!

Oli Meacher has been honoured as the County’s
Under 18 Volunteer of the Year. Oli joined us at the beginning of this season, and has virtually single-handedly run the Under 18 team this season whilst obtaining his coaching qualification and bringing these skills to assist those youngsters who are just starting off on their footballing careers
-
Paul Russell received the
Workforce Award which is due reward for all the effort that he expends BUT it barely does him justice. The Community Club Award would not have been achieved without Paul’s resourcefulness, commitment and hard work and this Club would not be where it is today without Paul’s involvement.
