The Ridgewood Raiders Travel Baseball program is designed to provide a competitive playing and learning experience for those players who are looking to advance their baseball skills.
Our travel teams compete in Spring and Summer seasons in local leagues with participants for the surrounding area. The travel baseball program is in addition to recreational baseball and a serious commitment in terms of time spent in practices and games.
Travel Baseball may not be a fit for every player or family so we ask that you seriously consider this commitment before making the decision to participate.
Our program is coming off a successful season with six teams winning NJSBL summer championships. In addition, it was our second season for independent coaches managed at the 13u/14u levels as the program prepares our Ridgewood travel players for the 60/90 field dimensions and in general for high school baseball. A record high 13 Ridgewood Raiders teams from 9u-14u levels participated at the Ripken Experience in Aberdeen, MD.
