The Oak Forest Raiders were founded in 1971. We are an instructional tackle football and cheerleading program for youth boys and girls ages 5-14. As an organization serving Oak Forest, IL and the surrounding communities for over fifty years, we emphasize the development of a strong foundation based on fundamentals in both football and cheer, giving each child the skills they need to be successful within a safe and fun environment. We are proud members of the Southwest Midget Football League (SWMFL).
