What is Challenger Baseball?
A baseball program designed for the needs of children that live with physical or mental disabilities. The kids get to participate in a sports environment structured for their success.
Players learn and grow while having lots of fun. Challenger Baseball provides an essential opportunity for kids to develop stronger emotional & social skills.The kids are encouraged to “get off the bench and play”! Playing Challenger Baseball assists to install a “can do” attitude in the players. The positive experience helps children gain confidence. In turn, their self-esteem grows stronger. There are three absolute rules:
Challenger “Buddies”
Some of our players require a little extra help. Kids from our Palma Ceia Little League division volunteer to come be a “buddy” at the games. Our kids interact with and get to learn baseball from their peers. Our “buddies” learn while having fun too! They receive lifetime lessons in understanding and compassion from their new friends.
Year Round Fun
The fun doesn’t stop with the final game. The Challenger Division hosts various events all year long. Players and their families are always welcome (Certain restrictions may apply).
