Challenger Division returns for 2016

Posted by Paul Skuta on Oct 31 2015 at 05:00PM PDT

Alameda Little Leauge is proud to announce that the Challenger Division will return in 2016. Registration will begin November 1. The cost to register for Challenger is $50. 

Little League International established the Challenger Division in 1989. The Challenger Division is for boys and girls with mental and physical challenges and more than 300,000 players participate in the Challenger Division worldwide. In the Bay Area, more than 35,000 youth with disabilities have difficulty accessing parks, fields, and team sports. This, coupled with the ever-growing community of those with disabilities commensurate with population growth, and the current rise in autism, led Alameda Little League to establish the Challenger Division for the 2015 season. Little League International's California District 4 (Alameda Little League is a member) currently has 15 Challenger Division leagues with whom we may have inter-district games. The Alameda site will be Estuary Park once the synthetic field there is completed. In the meantime, games will be played at Lippert (AA field).
