Challenger is an adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges. The program accommodates any person of ages 4 to 18; or up to age 22 if still enrolled in school. The program also involves volunteer peer “Buddies” that play along with each of our players to assist to the extent necessary with all of the activities associated to the game including fielding, catching, running and hitting. Challenger has a “one to one” ratio where buddies are paired up with the same players for the full year.  

Challenger allows the opportunity for our players to create friendships and bonds with their teammates, buddies, coaches, opposing players and the community at large in a way that transcends the baseball field. It allows our players the ability to demonstrate to those in schools and potential work environments the inspirational ability to overcome, contribute and thrive.

Teams play game on Saturdays and there is one practice a week.
