We've dealt with this two ways: 1) use flanged bearings, stepped shafts and Delrin spacers to keep everything captured, and 2) put some Loctite around the outside of the bearing when inserting it the first time.
For a FRC robot that will literally only see tens of hours of operation, this works just fine.

Something like Loctite Press Fit Repair 660 works great in this sort of application.
