Challenger Divisions

The Little League Challenger Division® was founded in 1989, and is Little League’s adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges.  The goal of the Challenger Division is to provide everyone a chance to play baseball regardless of limitations.

Any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge may participate. If an individual can participate in the traditional Little League Baseball program with reasonable accommodations they should do so. The Little League Challenger Division accommodates players ages 4 to 18; or up to age 22 if still enrolled in school. The Senior League Challenger Division accommodates players ages 15 and above (no maximum age).

The East Side Eagles, our Challenger Team, is one of approximately 18 teams that make up our Challenger League. Each year the Challenger Division celebrates Challenger Day, a day when all the teams come together to play the game of baseball.

Come out and support The East Side Eagles and all the Challenger teams on Challenger Day!
