Centennial Little League Proudly has a Challenger League!

What is a Challenger League?


Our challenger league is for anyone with special needs or different abilities! You do not have to be in our little league zone to participate, anyone can participate regardless of where within the city they live.

Our goal with the Challengers is not only to provide a baseball experience, but to also help mainstream them into everyday life whenever possible. So the Challenger Division is just another division in our Little League.

• Our Challenger division is for ages 5+ with NO MAXIMUM AGE LIMIT?

• Our league, along with local sponsors, provide this league to families at no cost!

Challenger Buddies


We like to have "Buddies" join us for every game all season. Buddies are people at least 12+ years old, and have knowledge of baseball. Buddies stand next to our Challengers and assist as the Challenger wants. Some can catch and throw with no help, some need a little help with fielding or throwing the ball. 

Little League defines three separate sub-divisions for Challenger Baseball. We Currently only have Challengers and Senior Challengers, but for now they all play together. As we grow, we hope to have two separate sub-divisions.

CHALLENGERS

For kids with special needs ages 5 up through 17.  Non-competitive.  Rules are designed for fun and not competition.  We don’t count runs, outs, balls and strikes.  Every kids bats successfully…by hitting a coached pitched ball or a ball placed on a batting tee.  If needed, parents or coaches can assist batting and help the player move from base to base to cross home plate. Game typically last about 60 minutes.

SENIOR CHALLENGERS

For players with special needs ages 15 and up. Non-competitive.  There is no upper age limit.  The rules are the same as the younger Challengers.  (Players 15, 16 and 17 can opt to play in either Challengers or Senior Challengers)

MAJORS

Competitive version of Challenger Baseball for players 15 years and up. Runs, outs, balls and strikes are counted.  Safety is the main concern for this league. In order to participate in the Majors a player must have the ability to:

  • Participate without one on one supervision in practices, drills and games
  • Be able to follow verbal instruction
  • Be able to react to baseballs hit directly at the player by catching, blocking or getting out of the way.
  • Be able to hit a coach pitched baseball without assistance.    

Because of safety concerns a player must be evaluated by coaches or managers to join the Majors.
