Tri-County Challenger Baseball - Little League

For individuals with physical & intellectual challenges, ages 4 & up in Lee/Hendry/North Collier Tri-
County Challenger Baseball began in 2003.

The Challenger Division of Little League® Baseball was founded in 1989, and is Little League’s adaptive
baseball program for individuals with physical and mental handicaps, ages four through adult. Each year we have around 130 kids from Lee, North Collier, and
Hendry Counties of southwest Florida playing on Saturday mornings from January through April. We pitch to each player until they hit the ba

ll. Everyone runs the bases, there are no outs, and every
game ends in a tie with the players lining up to “high five” the opposing team. Challenger Little League® provides the opportunity for disabled girls and boys to participate in the
organized game of baseball. These children get to do something that “non-disabled kids” take for
granted ... being part of a social event in an accepting place. Tri-County Challenger Baseball goes beyond the Little League® experience by providing special events
for these children and their families at zero or minimal cost. We attend college baseball or basketball
games, professional hockey games. We organize party boat rides, picnics in the park, and beach
weekends. We hold an annual Awards Day celebration, and provide overnight accommodations at
Challenger Little League Tournaments and Jamborees across the state. These “extracurricular”
activities provide the opportunity for these families in similar situations to network and build
community. Our non-baseball activities are, for many families, the only outside activities they can
afford as the medical costs of these children have strapped the family budget. We are an all-volunteer organization. No one ... Coaches, Executive Director, Corporate Officers ... receives a
salary or compensation. One hundred percent of your gift will go directly to the kids and their families. If you are so motivated ... we sure can use your help. Our goals are the same : Help these kids have a little fun on the baseball diamond each Saturday during
season, and give these families the opportunity to network and share with each other in an accepting place.
