The Challenger Division was established by Little League international in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges 4-21 (or until completion of high school) to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of the other children who participate in this sport worldwide.

Teams are set up with anywhere from 8 to 12 players depending on the sign-ups for any given season. Each player gets a chance to bat, either by tee-ball or pitch. The side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster. The Challenger players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as the other Little League players.

Flexibility and adaptability are key during Challenger games. Games are typically 1-2 innings long and last about 45 minutes to an hour. All players bat and play the field. Each player will be assigned a Buddy that will work with each little leaguer throughout games.
