St. Pete Rough Riders Baseball

When we created this organization, our goal was simple — to build a family-oriented, developmental, low-cost travel baseball program where kids could grow, compete, and most importantly, love the game.
Six years later, we’ve stayed true to that mission. We’ve grown, our families have grown, and our organization has grown — but our values haven’t changed.
We’re proud of what we’ve built, proud of the families who have trusted us, and proud that we continue to put the kids and the community first.
So, don’t always believe everything you hear. 😝
And yes… we’re still Daddy Ball! 😂⚾️
Six years. Same mission. Same heart. ❤️

For many of these boys, this was their final ride as Rough Riders. Some have been teammates for years, growing up together, competing side by side, celebrating wins, learning through losses, and building friendships that will last long after the final out.

As they now embark on their freshman year and begin the next chapter of their baseball journeys, I couldn’t be prouder of the young men they’ve become.

When we started the Rough Riders, the goal was always bigger than baseball. We wanted to build a family—a place where kids learned how to compete with heart, face adversity with character, support one another, and understand what being a great teammate truly means. The hope was always that those lessons would carry far beyond the baseball field.

Looking at these two pictures says it all. One captures the families who stood behind these boys every step of the way. The other captures a brotherhood forged through countless practices, games, road trips, victories, heartbreaks, and unforgettable memories.

To the parents—thank you. Thank you for your trust, your sacrifices, and for making this more than just a baseball organization.You helped create a family, and that’s something truly special.

To our boys moving on: Chase your dreams, compete with passion, stay humble, and never forget where it all started. We’ll always be cheering for you, and no matter where this game takes you, you’ll always be part of the Rough Riders family.

Once a Rough Rider, always a Rough Rider
Castagner Fam!
