Caledon Challenger Baseball looking for participants
July 28, 2016 · 0 Comments
Caledon Challenger Baseball Day will be Aug. 7 at North Hill Park in Bolton.
Challenger Baseball is a program that provides an opportunity for children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the full benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities.
There is no score kept, and able-bodied “buddies” are assigned to each participant. They assist the Challenger players with their involvement in the game, such as pushing wheelchairs around the base path, helping to show players how to hold the bat or swing, and provide protection from things like being hit by a batted ball.
The Aug. 7 Jamboree will see baseball being played from 10 a.m. until noon, followed by a barbecue and other activities.
The aim is to get the local program up and running, as so far registration is low.
To register a child, visit www.BoltonBravesBaseball.com and click on the Challenger Baseball tab.
Participation is free and is not limited to residents of Caledon.
