Carson City Little League

Challenger Division

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.

For boys and girls ages 5-18, (or the completion of high school).

The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.

Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include as many as 15-20 players, who can participate in Tee-Ball, Coach-Pitch style of Play

Each player gets a chance at bat. The side is retired when  the offense has batted through the roster, or when a

pre-determined number of runs has been scored, or when three outs are recorded. Little League recommends that no score be kept during games. The Challenger players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety

equipment as other Little League Players.

One of the benefits of having a Challenger Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the Challenger players. The buddies assist the Challenger players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make plays themselves. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.
