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 4-18, 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.

Please contact our Challenger Division Coordinator, for more information.

There are no playing fees to participate in the Challeger Program at HALL.   Raising a child with special needs can present families with extra expenses and challenges throughout life.  This program is HALL's gift to these families and it is our desire to provide a joy filled day of baseball where everyone goes home with smiles and memories that last a lifetime.

The Challenger Program provides  "buddies" for the Challenger players. The buddies are ready to  assist the Challenger players on the field as needed.  The buddy is always nearby with help or a tip when needed and encourage the players to bat and make plays as independently as possible. 

Buddies are regularly filled by HALL players, siblings or other community youth looking to get involved.
