Challenger Baseball  Challenger is designed for boys and girls age 4 to 18 with developmental disabilities. It is the goal of SLL to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for our children to play baseball.  Players not only have a great time playing baseball, but also experience pulling together as a team, being cheered by a crowd, and being encouraged by their peers To read more in a great article by Eric Plummer @ Bonner Daily Bee about a past Challenger game click here.
