Welcome to the BANC
Raiders Web Page!
The BANC Raiders
can trace their roots back to the “Red Devils” teams
of the 1960’s, when
Felix
Guiffra Sr., Ralph Arnone and others organized the
youth tackle football program in the Byram section
of
Greenwich. Subsequent BANC
leaders have included Joe Vancho, George Finn, Harry
Catanzaro and the current Senior Head Coach, Frank
Parelli. The BANC logo is the pirate flag (similar
to the Tampa Bay Buckaneers’ logo) and the team
colors are red and black. The
name BANC comes from the first letters of the Byram
Archibald Neighborhood Center, a facility on Delavan
Avenue which provides after school educational and
social programs, sports programs and summer camps
for neighborhood children. The BANC program is
founded on sportsmanship, teamwork, respect and hard
work, and each player is required to give a full
commitment to his teammates. Practices are held at
Western Middle School and generally take place on
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights from
4:30-6:30pm, but players should listen to their
Coaches after each practice because weather or other
factors may change this schedule. Players are
required to be at the field on Sundays one hour
before game time. Please notify your Coach as soon
as you know you will be unable to attend a practice
or a game, so that they may plan accordingly.
