Announcing Challenger Division for 2016 - Proudly Sponsored by Vietnam Veterans of America!

Posted by Paul Skuta on Mar 11 2016 at 04:00PM PST

Alameda Little Leauge is proud to announce that we are fielding a team in the Challenger Division for 2016. 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 Kees (AA field).
