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, helmets and catchers gear. Players must provide their own glove.
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.
The Registration "Raider Nation Baseball" is not currently available.
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.
