The Challenger Divison is one of the most impactful experiences offered by Little League International. Rhode Island District 4 is proud of many of its league that offer Challenger programs and fully support this effort. According to Little League International:
The Little League Challenger Division® was founded in 1989, and is Little League’s adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges.
Any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge may participate. If an individual can participate in the traditional Little League Baseball or Softball 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).
RID4 is proud of the local leagues that provide a Challenger Division and thanks the tireless volunteers for their time to making this opportunity a reality for players in Northern Rhode Island. Please click on the below link to view the 2024 Challenger Schedule.
