Raider Nation Baseball
Welcome to Raider Nation
Founded in 2009, Raider Nation, in partnership with the Hastings YMCA, offers an In-House Baseball Program that serves ballplayers ages 4-9 (Pre-K thru 3rd grade) with a season that runs from the beginning of June through early August, depending on age level. A child's grade at the time of registration determines their eligibility for each program level.
The program provides each player a hat, pants and jersey with RN and YMCA logos. Each team is fully equipped with bats and catchers gear. Players must provide their own glove and batting helmet.
In-House Baseball registration fee varies from $60 - $160 based on the level. Late registrations may be accepted dependent upon availability and payment of a $100 late fee. Late registrations carry no guarantee of uniforms being ready for opening day but we will do our utmost.
Coach / Team Manager Registration
All individuals interested in becoming a Head Coach, Assistant Coach or Team Manager must register below in the volunteer registration box. If you have previously registered, no need to register again.
