What is the Challenger Division?  The Challenger Division offers boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5 to 18 (or the completion of high school), the opportunity to participate in an organized baseball program.  The most fundamental goal of the Challenger Division is to give everyone a chance to play.

 

The Rules of the Challenger Division:

v     All children ages 5 through 18, or who remain in school, with physical or mental disabilities are encouraged to participate.  Level of play based upon player’s size, age and skill level may occur if numbers allow.

v     Each player in Tee Ball or Coach-Pitch may use the “Buddy” system where a player is paired up with a buddy to assist them in course of the game on and off the field.

v     Every player on the roster is in the batting order and shall play defensively for the entire game.

v     No team is scheduled to play more than one game in one day.  The side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster or when three outs are recorded.

v     Little League recommends that no score be kept during games.

v     Challenger Division players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as other Little Leaguers.

v     Challenger games are played on a standard Little League field.

v     Standard Little League equipment can be used.  However, the option is available to adjust equipment to accommodate individual challenges, such as using a lighter or smaller bat for children who cannot use an aluminum or wooden bat. 

For more information or to register to play in the Challenger Division, contact: 

Kelly Paine at daisymae6k@charter.net or 508-867-8620

Registrations will be taking place on Wednesday February 8^th and 15^th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the East Brookfield Elementary School Cafeteria.
