ABOUT THE RAPTORS
Here's a little more about us and why we started the Cedar Raptors
We all love the game of football and everything that comes with it - the people, the comradery, and the competition. While our experience level varies, we all believe in the family aspect of the league and want anyone and everyone to be a part of this growing women's+ sport.

Hi I'm Bridget. I've been playing tackle football for 4 years now. I've always loved sports and competition and I'm constantly looking for new ways to challenge myself. I want this team to be everyone's opportunity to try something new and find enjoyment in a great sport with great people.

RAY
Hi I'm Coach Que. I have played 23 seasons of contact sports between football and rugby. Most recently I have coached for the Iowa Phoenix. Having 3 daughters, I wanted to start the Cedar Raptors to expand on women's football and give opportunities to women in Eastern Iowa that may not have been available before.

Hi I'm Lizzy! Last spring was my rookie season playing women's tackle football. I loved it so much I wanted to help start this team to expand the reach of the sport even further! My goal is to help each player reach their potential through a ferocity and empowerment that's welcomed on the field.
