The Rough Riders' Story

Our purpose is to prepare young baseball athletes for success in both sports and life.
“Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.”
- Babe Ruth

In 1898, the legend of Teddy Roosevelt and his feared voluntary cavalry known as the Rough Riders was growing. In modern times, a similar baseball legend grows.

The Rough Riders originally formed as an Ahwatukee Foothills Pony League All-Stars team. During the course of playing and practicing together under the excellent baseball leadership of Coach Tom, and with the contributions of additional coaches and parents, the Ahwatukee Rough Riders core incorporated as a stand-alone baseball club travel team.

Our 10U, 11U, & 12U rosters currently consist of players from Pony, Little League, and other previous baseball club teams. We are a competitive club baseball team that represents Ahwatukee, Phoenix, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert, and Maricopa, Arizona.

We are not your typical baseball club travel team. Our practices and drills are specifically designed to produce exceptional young baseball players via skill development, strength building, and strategic training. However, we also promote team chemistry and team-building in order to produce a group of smart players who trust in each other on the field, and also kids who have fun as friends off of the field.

Finally, our coaching staff teaches the kids about the history of baseball and helps them apply the lessons they learn in baseball to their personal lives.
