Vision Statement

The Challenger Division strives to enhance special needs participants with team & individual sporting opportunities, resources to create and promote community awareness, education and health through a safe and fun learning environment.

Challenger provides an opportunity for boys and girls with physical and developmental disabilities to participate in the Little League program in an environment structured to their abilities. Through the buddy system, other Little Leaguers assist Challenger athletes as needed with batting, running and fielding. In addition to the baseball skills learned through the experience, the value of the Little League Challenger Division is found in the strengthening of the participants’ self-esteem and learning the value of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. The Challenger Division games are noncompetitive and played on the same fields as any other division of Little League.
