Little League Challenger Division - East County

The Little League Challenger Division is Little League’s adaptive baseball programs for boys and girls with physical and developmental challenges. Flexibility and adaptability are key during Challenger games. Little League provides all chartered teams with a rulebook that includes a best practices guide to operating a Challenger Division Game. Typically games are 1-2 innings long and last about an hour. All players play defensively and bat every inning. Challenger games may be played on a traditional or synthetic baseball or softball field. Little League encourages the use of traditional fields for the Challenger Division so that participants can enjoy playing on the same type of field as their peers. Spread the word about being a Buddy! Buddies are individuals who assist Challenger athletes in the areas of batting, base running and defense, but only as needed. Often buddies are peer athletes who are participating in the Little League Baseball or Softball program.
