Mill Valley Little League and District 3

This year Mill Valley Little League will be introducing a new community program for youth with special needs. The Challenger league is a division of little league and is a unique opportunity for children who have developmental disabilities to participate in Little League baseball.  This league is open to any youth age 5-18 who resides in Marin County.  The Challenger players wear the same uniforms & safety equipments as other Little League players. Teams are supported by coaches and by a buddy system in which young, non disabled volunteers assist Challenger players when needed at bat and in the field. Everybody scores, and everybody wins.    

Listed are a few general facts about the league

• Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include as many as 15-20 players, who can participate in one of three levels: Tee-Ball, Coach-Pitch or Player Pitch.
• Games will last an hour and there will be optional practices one day during the week.
• There will be no cost for Challenger players participating
• Players will be provided with the same uniforms (Caps and Shirts) as other Little League players.
• We will need volunteer buddies, coaches to assist players & financial sponsors
