About Challenger Baseball
Challenger Baseball allows children and youth with disabilities to experience the joy of baseball in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment. This program is about teamwork, confidence, movement, and belonging - not competition. Families, volunteers, and players come together to create a positive space where every athlete can succeed at their own pace.
