ABOUT US: Welcome to the Syracuse Challengers website! The Challenger Baseball program is an official Little League program under the auspices of the local District 8 Little League. We have 6 teams for all children and 2 "Senior" teams for children who want to experience a more difficult level of play.  100+ children play baseball with Challenger every summer. Our children have various special needs, physical handicaps and developmental delays. The ages range from 5 to 21 years of age. The purpose of the program is to allow all these wonderful kids to enjoy the game of baseball in a relaxed setting that is supervised by coaches and parents.

OUR GAMES:
Each Syracuse Challenger game consists of two innings. All children bat in their respective half of the inning (no score is kept nor are any strikes, walks or outs). Parents, coaches, family members, friends, all help out and are encouraged to assist the children with batting, fielding, running and throwing as necessary. The children are taught good sportsmanship and very basic fundamentals of the game. Every child hits, runs and scores! The children really have a wonderful time being able to participate. After the game, the children are occasionally treated by the host Little League to a treat - for example, the Lyncourt Court Little League treats the kids to a pizza party on the last night of the regular season.

JERSEYS, HATS, PHOTOS & MORE:
Each child receives a jersey and a hat with his team's colors and logo. There is plenty of equipment (bats, balls, helmets, gloves, bases, etc.) for the children to use, but the children may bring their own gloves and bats if they have them. The league will also arrange for an individual and team photo night, and provide a photo for the children free of charge.

FINAL GAMES AT ALLIANCE BANK STADIUM WITH THE SYRACUSE SKYCHIEFS:
The entire Challenger League is invited by the Syracuse Chiefs Baseball team to play a special game at Alliance Bank Stadium to end our season. The children have the field all to themselves and see their names in lights on the Chief's scoreboard when they come to bat. A play by play announcer calls the games over the stadium sound system. The children are joined on the field by Chiefs General Manager John Simone and several of the Chiefs players. After each game the children are invited by the Chiefs to a party with hot dogs and sodas for the players. This event is the highlight of a very special baseball season.

LEAGUE BANQUET & TROPHIES:
At the end of the season a banquet is held for the children. The kids are given trophies.

NO FEES, JUST FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
There are no fees to enroll in Challenger baseball. All that is required is a willing children and family to come out and enjoy America's pastime sport with the child's peers in a wonderful summertime setting.
