Play Ball

One of my favorite things about spring is BASEBALL - Challengers Baseball that is …


Every year my husband and I look forward to spring so we can see our “kids” again. My husband coaches
the Rockies Challengers team for Concord and it is truly the highlight of our spring and kick off to summer!

Challengers Baseball has a league in just about every county.  It is a wonderful program set up for children with special needs to be able to play baseball.  Challengers accepts any child age 5 and up to join.  Each child has their own level of ability but we make sure that everyone plays, everyone wins, and everyone has fun! 
We have been doing baseball with Challengers for 6 years now, and we have made some wonderful friends. If you think you or your child might enjoy coming out side and enjoying the spring air and some fun with us I encourage you sign up!
