GRAFORD, Tex.— Unrivaled Sports, a leader in youth sports, has added Rocker B Ranch to its Baseball & Multi-sport Division venue roster. Located 90 miles (about an hour’s drive) west of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the 325-acre ranch combines elite youth baseball tournaments with a scenic, full-service resort destination.

Located near Possum Kingdom Lake and the Brazos River, Rocker B Ranch offers onsite lodging, numerous outdoor activities, and views of the Palo Pinto Mountains. The ranch has expanded beyond baseball to become a destination for sports-centered events and corporate retreats. The ranch features four baseball fields and resort-style amenities, including lodging options like cabins, casitas, and a lodge, as well as food and beverage services, two swimming pools, a fishing pond, and a music venue. The property also includes volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts.
Unrivaled Sports, which owns Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All-Star Village, plans to add more baseball and multi-sport fields and increase onsite accommodations for young athletes and families.

“Rocker B Ranch represents everything we strive for at Unrivaled Sports — excellence in youth sports and unforgettable experiences for families and communities,” says Wade Martin, CEO of Unrivaled Sports’ baseball division. “What Lance Byrd and his family built is one of the most unique experiences in youth sports. We couldn’t be more proud and excited to be partners and lead the next chapter. Since we currently only use 55 of the 325 acres, the opportunities to expand and build upon the great foundation are very exciting.”

Brothers Lance and Bart Byrd, who are both founders of the ranch will continue as part of the Unrivaled team.

“Rocker B Ranch was built on the idea of bringing people together, whether it’s for the love of baseball, a special occasion, or simply a chance to connect with nature,” says Byrd. “We’re thrilled to see that tradition continue for years to come. Unrivaled Sports has a remarkable ability to elevate facilities and undoubtedly help Rocker B Ranch reach its full potential.”
