LAKE STEVENS RIPTIDE SELECT BASEBALL PROGRAM

The purpose of Lake Stevens Riptide Select Baseball Program is to provide a competitive baseball environment that promotes athleticism, leadership, character, and community at a very low cost to the athletes and families served. In the last 2022 fiscal year, Riptide had 7 teams with over 84 athletes participating. The average cost for participating for select baseball programs in the local and surrounding area is $3000-6000.00. Riptide athletes were able to participate at a cost of between $650-1500.00 depending on the age. The entire participating board, directors, and coaches working to design and implement the athletic programs are all volunteers. No one is compensated for their work. The program design has health, age-appropriate child development at the forefront with a focus on physical, mental, and emotional well-being of participating athletes.
