PRINCETON SPECIAL SPORTS & PROGRAMS

Princeton Special Sports & Programs (PSS) was started in 2001 offering baseball to kids with neurodiversities and/or disabilities as the Challenger Division of Princeton Little League. In 2003, PSS added basketball and reorganized as an independent non-profit; we added soccer in 2004. PSS served 50-55 players in each of its three 10-week seasons a year until our youth sports program ended in 2020.

In 2008, PSS began offering monthly adaptive dances and other social activities for teenagers and young adults. The dances and other programs continue today, in partnership with the Princeton and Montgomery Township Recreation Departments, and are now attended by adults of all ages. Our activities are staffed entirely by adult volunteers and high school student volunteer "buddies."

PSS is run by a volunteer board of trustees. The current members of our board are Co-Founder and President Deborah Martin Norcross; Co-Founder and Co-President Emeritus John Pecora; Vice President and Treasurer Hana Oresky; Board Secretary Nicole Paulucci; Eileen Donohue; and Buddy Coordinator Valerie Walker.
