The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little
League to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges to enjoy the game
of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in the sport
worldwide. Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include
as many as 15-20 players. LGLL Challenger games are t-ball or coach pitch. One of the
benefits of having a Challenger Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies"
for Challenger players. The buddies, who are typically older, assist the Challenger
players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make
the plays themselves. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.
