I am thrilled to be able to tell you that Manhattan has an Adaptive Disability Baseball Program. Not only does West Side Little League have a co-ed division called The Challengers but also it’s for children with disabilities ages 5 and up. Rather than have you wonder what “co-ed” means, let me explain. That means boys and girls are on the same team. Furthermore, when they say ages 5 and Up-that is to say even Special Needs Adults can play ball too. Of course, the division coaches divide players up by ages and abilities so you’ll make some friends on your team with people your own age.
Typically The Challengers’ Schedule begins in the Spring and practice/games are on Sunday afternoons. Younger kids at 77th and Riverside Drive while older players go to 103rd and Riverside Drive. Sounds to me like a nice way to wrap up the weekend. Don’t you think?
Instead of worrying if you are skilled enough to play baseball, just bring a great attitude and be ready to try. I guarantee there will be a coach there to help bring out the best ballplayer in YOU! Score a Home Run down below.
