At YouGotNext Renegades, we’re more than just a youth baseball team — we’re a community dedicated to building confidence, teamwork, and leadership that lasts a lifetime.
The YouGotNext Renegades are more than just a baseball team — we’re a movement rooted in equity, empowerment, and opportunity. As part of the YouGotNext Empowerment Foundation, the Renegades program exists to level the playing field for kids who might otherwise be left out of organized sports due to cost or access.
Founded in 2025, the Renegades were created to give youth a chance to grow through sports — building confidence, discipline, and teamwork in a safe, supportive environment. Our coaching approach blends fundamentals with mentorship, making sure every player walks away with more than just athletic skills.
We believe every child deserves a shot — and with the help of our community, we’re making that possible, one inning at a time.
We’re building something special — a grassroots youth sports program focused on creating a lower-cost, community-powered alternative for families. Our mission is simple: make quality sports opportunities accessible to every kid, regardless of income.
We’re excited to launch our YouGotNext Renegades 12U Baseball team in Spring 2026 — but the journey starts well before then. Throughout Fall 2025 into early 2026 (pending funding), we’ll host workouts, practices, and skills training sessions to help players grow, build chemistry, and prepare for the upcoming season.
While our primary team will be 12U, players from other age groups will be able to participate in select practices and training sessions — in our infancy, space is limited, and participation will depend on availability and age-appropriate grouping.
For this upcoming season, we estimate the cost will be around $200–$250 per player, but that’s not final. The more we raise, the more we can lower those costs — and in time, eliminate them altogether.
We’re a boots-to-the-pavement team, doing this for the kids — creating safe spaces, positive mentorship, and lifelong memories. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help:
This is just the beginning. We’re glad you’re here — walking alongside us as we pave a better path forward for youth sports.
Let’s go, Renegades!

It takes more than dollars to build a team — it takes a community. In addition to financial support, we welcome donations of new or gently used baseball gear, guest coaches to lead training sessions, umpires to share their knowledge with our players, and volunteers to help make every practice, game, and fundraiser possible.
We're also looking for local sponsors, community partners, and everyday advocates who believe in what we’re doing. Whether you can offer time, equipment, connections, or simply help spread the word, you’ve got next, too — and we’re grateful you’re in our corner.
