Challenger Little League Baseball
Challenger Little League Baseball provides opportunities for children to learn skills for baseball, team play and fairness. Friendships are forged. Skills are learned and a rewarding season is enjoyed by all the children, the parents, the volunteer coaches and the other teams.
The Challenger Division of was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, ages 5-18 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.
Each player gets a chance at bat. The side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster.
The Challenger players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as other Little League players.
One of the benefits of this Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the Challenger players. The buddies assist the Challenger players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make plays themselves. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.
We participate as the District Two Team (White Sox) and play other District teams, Saturdays in Albuquerque throughout April, May and June of each year.
