The
Challenger Division of Little League is a program for mentally and
physically challenged youth, helping them to enjoy the full benefits of
Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to
their abilities. More than the skills of baseball learned through the
experience, the value of the Little League Challenger Division is found
in the proven therapeutic and socialization benefits of participating in
sports, the strengthening of participants’ self-esteem, the
opportunities to mainstream into other divisions of play, and the
disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play, which are
hallmarks of the Little League program. The Little League Challenger
Division provides the framework so Little League programs may offer a
structured, athletic activity for all youth in their communities.
Playing with the same equipment on the same fields, Challenger Division
participants have the opportunity to experience the joys of pulling
together as a team, being cheered, and earning awards for their
achievements.
