Baseball—Challenger Division

Salida Little League is very happy to have an opportunity to bring this Division to our league and community. We hope that these two teams become the catalyst for new teammates for future seasons. Thanks to all that have contributed to make this a reality. PLAY BALL!!!

The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.  Today more than 30,000 children participate in more than 900 Challenger Divisions worldwide.

Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include as many as 15-20 players. Challenger games can be played as t-ball games, coach pitch, player pitch, or a combination of the three.
