Challenger Baseball is an adaptive baseball program specifically designed to empower children, youth and adults living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities.
The focus is on fun and inclusivity, no prior experience in baseball/softball is required to play or volunteer
Challenger Baseball ensures every athlete has the opportunity to play in a fun and safe environment where they learn to become more independent, build confidence and self esteem, improve their communication skills, and set and achieve their own personal goals.
Buddies are volunteers from the community (typically motivated youth in other baseball leagues or schools) who join and partner with the athletes.
Buddies do not need to have any prior baseball experience.
The Buddy's role is to support the athlete in the activities and create a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience.
We provide all the equipment, including:
Athletes arrive and participate in a short series of ice breakers and warm up activities.
Then there are some drills and skills practices involving games and more.
Game play is the main event where the athletes take turns hitting and fielding.
Challenger baseball is focused on fun; everyone gets a turn to hit, and after every hit, all fielders get to field a ball!
