The Challenger League: About Us
"The kids are having a ball and that's what makes this so rewarding,' Bruce Katz said. "To see them smile, to hear them laugh and have fun. It's a great family time, and for the kids, it provides them with a chance to participate and be a part of a team activity. It's something all kids want to do and this league gives these players that opportunity.'

The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, ages 5-21 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.
Eastern Little League and Junior League fields two teams and all games are played on Saturday Mornings at the Cal Young Park (former Key City Little League complex). The registration fee is $25.00 for each player.
Each player gets a chance at bat. The Challenger players wear the same uniforms 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.
