New and Returning Players are all Welcome!
This is the 33rd season for Challenger Baseball and we are excited to get started. Spring is almost here and itโs that time of year again. The fields wait to be played on, the bats and balls are ready to be used. All they need is YOU!
Challenger is a valley wide league. Since there are not enough players in one area, we combine from all over the valley to make up teams. Challenger is a learning and developing league, so the rules are altered to fit the needs of the players. We also discovered that our players didnโt have much interest in practices, โthey just want to playโ so itโs a teaching experience with each game.
Games last about 1 ยฝ hours or about 2 or 3 innings. We have found that this is about all they last. Durations may vary depending on the weather and player enthusiasm.
Check the schedule and registration pages for additional information.
New Players
The only equipment you will need to provide is a mitt. The only recommendation is โDo Notโ buy a plastic mitt. Leather is bendable and will break in where plastic wonโt. There are a few second-hand sporting goods places in town and another great place to find good mitts is on eBay (Iโve bought a few there). The type of ball that we use is an incredi-ball this is a soft type ball so there is less chance of injury.
