Ridgewood Raiders Travel Baseball

Our travel teams compete in Spring and Summer seasons in local leagues with participants from 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. Registration is now open for the 2027 season, please register for tryouts.

Register to Play

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 strives for player development while playing for and representing the Village of Ridgewood. This past season our Ridgewood Raiders travel baseball program consisted of 19 total teams. The 2026 season was highlighted by 4 teams playing in the NJ Little League sectionals and two teams advancing to states. It was the first time in program history that Ridgewood has won the 8u LL District tournament.

In addition, it was our 4th season with independent coaches at the 13u/14u levels as the Junior program prepares our Ridgewood travel players for the 60/90 field dimensions and in general for high school baseball. Our 13/14u teams advanced to NJ LL States.

Thank you to all of the players, coaches, parents and fans who made 2026 a great season for Ridgewood travel baseball.
