"Turning today's youth into tomorrow's leaders."

BYC Raiders is a youth sports organization with a long-standing history in York City. For over 75 years, the BYC Raiders have been more than just a youth sports program; we are a family, and a community-driven non-profit organization dedicated to shaping the future of York County's youth. The BYC Athletics Program is dedicated to empowering our 350+ student athletes through football, cheerleading, and basketball.  Our mission goes beyond winning championships—our primary focus is to provide a safe, supportive, and structured environment where young people can grow, learn, and thrive through athletics. Through sports, we instill values of discipline, self-esteem, physical fitness, perseverance, sportsmanship, and, above all, education. With the guidance of our trained, dedicated, and experienced leaders, we strive to positively influence the lives of our participants while offering them a haven where they can feel supported and empowered. Our commitment to safety and growth has led us to prioritize upgrading protective equipment for our players. As we look to the future, we aim to enhance our training resources, protective gear, uniforms, and even our coaches and staff members, ensuring our youth have the tools they need to succeed on and off the field. We have staff members who are CPR and AED certified as well as a few who are properly trained in using an AED machine. Our coaches attend Coach Clincs to ensure they stay up to date on their skills as well. We deeply believe in the power of community and the importance of instilling core values in the next generation. That is what has allowed us to be the longest standing youth program in York City.
Join us in preserving a tradition of over seven decades by becoming a part of the BYC family—together, we can turn today's youth into tomorrow's leaders.
