- Any boy or girl ages 4-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in a school program, with a physical or developmental challenge may participate. Teams can include 10-15 players. Games can be played as tee ball games, coach pitch, player pitch, or a combination of the three. The field has been modified to meet the needs of all our players.
- In a Challenger game, each player gets a chance to bat. There are no strikeouts, and the side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster. No score is kept during the games.
- There is no registration fee and players are provided with a game jersey and asked to wear baseball pants or shorts to the games. Parents are asked to supply a glove, pants or shorts, and shoes. Baseball cleats are not permitted on the rubberized base path.
- One of the benefits of having a Challenger Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the players. “Buddies” assist players whenever possible, encourage players to bat & make plays independently. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed. Often buddies are peer athletes who are participating in the Little League Baseball or Softball program.
