Raimonds Laizāns started playing football at the Daugava sports school in Riga at the age of 13.
From 1985 to 1987 Laizāns played with Zvejnieks Liepāja, then went to Ukraine - first to Volyn Lutsk with which he won the Ukrainian league in 1989, then - to FC Karpaty Lviv.
In the first year Laizāns played significantly less than Oļegs Grišins but from 1993 to 1996 he was the undisputed number one goalkeeper in the club which was without a doubt the strongest in Latvia.
In 1997 Laizāns started experiencing a competition from the club's second goalkeeper - Aleksandrs Koliņko (both played 12 matches in the Latvian Virslīga).
[3] After retiring from active football Laizāns took over the youth squad of Skonto FC, and as of January 2008 he is the chairman of JFK Olimps Rīga.
