The Downtown Little League gives Players with Disabilities the chance to play Baseball in their Challenger Division. During the season Saturday mornings at Battery Park City Fields are full of various individuals with disabilities. Rather than being concerned with skill level, The Challenger Division of NYC’s little league focuses on having a good time. Enthusiasm is the only requirement in these games. NYU volunteers, fellow players, coaches, and parents all are there to assist in learning different aspects of baseball. Just being a member of a team is really something that feels good. Even if you don’t want to learn how to hit you could always be the ball boy or girl and help around the field giving players water. Maybe you could even be the runner for someone else.
No matter what Baseball is a fun sport for those with Special Needs to participate in while living Downtown. The season only lasts a few months anyway, so why not try it? Oh, and in case you are wondering- Downtown is considered the area below or south of Canal Street in Manhattan. If you are unsure I bet if you call them they can help direct you.
Please don’t forget to sing a few verses of “take me out to the ball game” when you go. Such a great tune!
