Registration is now open for the Challenger Division of the Horsham Little League, a program designed to provide inclusive and supportive baseball experiences for individuals with cognitive and/or physical challenges.
The Challenger Division focuses on fun, friendship, and skill-building, allowing players of all abilities to enjoy the game in a safe and encouraging environment.
In addition to players, the league is also seeking volunteer “buddies.” Buddies are paired one-on-one with a Challenger player to offer support, encouragement, and friendship throughout the season.
No special training is required, other than patience, a cheerful attitude and a willingness to help others. You qualify to be a Challenger buddy if you can give a high 5, a big smile, or any other form of encouragement. Service credit is available for consistent participation by students.
Interested participants and volunteers can register online through the Horsham Little League website.
This program is a chance for the entire community to come together, celebrate inclusion, and enjoy the excitement of baseball in a welcoming setting.
Games are played at Deep Meadow Park during the months of April, May, and June, every Saturday morning at 9 a.m., and alternating Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
