Baseball for All!
Challenger Baseball is a sport for players with disabilities. Participation in our league can provide players the opportunity to develop and/or improve endurance, coordination, and skills such as sportsmanship and fair-play, at recreational or competitive levels of involvement. Individuals develop a sense of belonging and build lasting friendships. The main activity of our league involves a fun and modified program designed to help all players succeed. Buddies may assist players during the game, however, the priority of the buddies is to encourage the player to participate to the maximum of their ability. Baseball rules are adapted as required to match players’ abilities so that participation and teamwork are emphasized.
