Challenger Division

The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. Today, more than 30,000 children participate in more than 900 Challenger Divisions worldwide.

HALL added the Challenger Division 20 years ago in 2004. It was the first such division in the area and immediately took off. Teams are set up  based on both age and ability, and can include as many as 12  players. Challenger games can be played as tee ball games, coach pitch, player pitch, or a combination of the three.
