Hear from the Coady Family!

The Vancouver Island Raiders are more than just a football team—we’re a family. And at the heart of that family are our incredible billet families who open their homes to support young athletes chasing their football dreams.

🏡 Why Become a Billet Family?
Billet families provide a home away from home for our players, many of whom travel from across Canada to play for the VI Raiders. This is more than just housing—it’s about mentorship, connection, and becoming part of something bigger.

One of our amazing billet families, the Coady Family, recently shared their experience of welcoming two Raiders players into their home. Check out their story in our latest video:

💬 “These young men become part of your family. You watch them grow, succeed, and you know you’re making a difference in their lives.” – Coady Family

We Need More Billet Families!
