Happy birthday Modesto Raiders and good luck this year and in your next seventeen years to come. We look forward to having a lot of fun this year and in the years to comes. Best of luck this year.

HISTORY
The Central Valley Raiders are the Central Valley's oldest semi-pro football team, serving the Modesto area for over 18 years. Started by owner Shawn Spaulding back in 1991, the then Modesto Panthers competed in the California Alumni League.

They won the Alumni Championship in 91, and then became the Modesto Raiders. The Raiders continued their winning ways by taking the Alumni Championship in 92, and 93. They dethroned the current champs, Overfelt out of San Jose for their first of three Alumni League Championships.

After defeating every alumni opponent, the Modesto Raiders were recruited by the Golden Coast Amateur Football League. After attending several meetings the Raiders were ready to make the leap from Alumni League to a fully structured league with a playoff system and state recognition.

We are pleased to announce that we will be joining the MLFA along with the rest of the teams in the NCAFF.
