The Bambino-Buddy Ball Division of Little League is a program for developmentally and physically challenged boys and girls ages 4-18 (or the completion of high school), helping them to enjoy the full benefits of Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities. More than the skills of baseball learned through the experience, the value of the Little League Challenger Division is found in the proven therapeutic and socialization benefits of participating in sports; the strengthening of participants’ self-esteem; the opportunities to mainstream into other divisions of play and the disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play, which are hallmarks of the Little League program.
The program is also looking for those individuals who wish to volunteer as mentors for this program, as a Challenger Buddy. This is a great opportunity for high school students who need volunteer hours and those whose are looking for a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime.
