How many people know that there is Challenger Baseball League in Danville? Challenger Baseball is an organization for children with disabilities. This league offers a fun time for children who don’t usually get the opportunity to play on a sports team. It is a time where kids with disabilities who have wanted to play sports can play.

The Challenger Baseball League meets every Sunday at the softball field by F.Q.Hartman Field. The games are two innings long.  Each of the two teams get to bat through their order once, and then they switch. Each player gets a helper who helps him out on the field and with running around the bases.

The Challenger Baseball League is in need of volunteers to help them with the children.  Anyone who is interested in brightening a child’s day or just doesn’t have anything to do on a Sunday should consider donating time to the Challenger League.
