The Challenger Division is a unique program for mentally and/or physically challenged youth aged 5-18 which allows the enjoyment of Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities. More than the baseball skills learned the value of the division is found in the proven therapeutic and socialization benefits of participating in sports, the strengthening of the participants' self-esteem, the opportunities to mainstream into other divisions of play, and the disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play.
