2023 Challenger Program


What is Challenger?
The Challenger Division can be described as “adaptive baseball” for children with special needs. It can also be emphasized that the Challenger Division gives every child the opportunity to participate in baseball regardless of ability or limitations.

Who can participate in the Little League Challenger Program?
Any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge may participate. If an individual can participate in the traditional Little League Baseball or Softball program with reasonable accommodations they should do so. The Little League Challenger Division accommodates players ages 4-16. Birthdates between 9/1/04-8/31/17.

Is there a cost to participate in the Challenger Program? 
Each local Challenger Program sets its own policy with respect to registration fees. No player may be denied the opportunity to participate based on the inability to pay a registration fee. The fee for Brookfield National Little League will be $75 this includes a jersey for each player and one Buddy t-shirt along with their season of play.

What rules are followed during a Challenger game?
Flexibility and adaptability are key during Challenger games. Little League provides all chartered teams with a rulebook that includes a best practices guide to operating a Challenger Game. Typically games are 1-2 innings long and last about an hour. All players play defensively and bat every inning.

What are “buddies” and what role do they have in the Challenger Division?
Buddies are individuals who assist Challenger athletes in the areas of batting, base running and defense, but only as needed. Often buddies are peer athletes who are participating in the Little League Baseball or Softball program.

What type of field are Challenger Games played on?
Challenger games may be played on a traditional or synthetic baseball or softball field. Little League encourages the use of traditional fields for the Challenger Program so that participants can enjoy playing on the same fields as other Little Leaguers in the community. BNLL will play Challenger games at Ehlert Park's Hull Field. It is a skinned softball field (no infield grass) and will provide the most accessible play while using mobility devices.
