Horsham Challenger Little League For Players With Disabilities Opens

"Players wake up looking forward to game days...because they know they will have fun."

Registration is now open for Horsham Little League Challenger baseball, for players with physical or mental disabilities, coach Stanely Jaskiewicz announced Tuesday.

Non-competitive games are held on Saturday mornings and alternating Tuesday and Thursday evenings, beginning on April 2, 2016, until mid June 2016 at Deep Meadow Park, on Route 463 in Horsham.

Our goal is to encourage participation and social interaction for players with disabilities.

The biggest obstacle to participation by players with disabilities is the parent or guardian who says that he or she can’t do it – our coaches and parents will work with you and your child to find what works for him or her. As described in recent articles about our league, our players wake up looking forward to game days, since they know that they will have fun.

To register as a player or volunteer, contact Stan Jaskiewicz at sjaskiewicz@lawsgr.com, or (215) 241-8866 or see here.

Empathetic teen volunteers are particularly welcome – baseball experience is not needed.

Horsham Challenger Little League is proudly supported by the Horsham Rotary and other benefactors, so that everyone who would like to play can do so, regardless of ability to pay the registration fee, or where they may live.
