Challenger Baseball is an adaptive baseball program specifically designed for children, youth, and adults living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. The program is designed to teach athletes the core skills inherent to baseball, including teamwork, communication, determination, resiliency, and courage. Challenger Baseball ensures every athlete has the opportunity to play in a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they learn independence, connection, build confidence and self esteem. We remove barriers to create an inclusive community where athletes are valued and celebrated.
