The Challenger
Division provides an opportunity for disabled children through age 21 to
experience the Little League baseball dream. We currently have thirteen players on
the Challenger Team for the 2002 season. Please call or email
the division director if you would like to
participate.
Games
All games are at Thaiss (Pickett)
field on Sundays from 1:00 - 2:30. Our season starts on Opening Day, April 21, and
ends on June 17. The Challenger Team plays a different team each Sunday as
Springfield Challenger sends over an opposing team every weekend. There is no game
on May 20 when the Challenger Team attends a family picnic hosted by the Springfield
Challenger Division. Closing ceremonies begin after the final season game on June
17.
Buddy
System
Major League teams
and the Challenger Team are partnered together for games throughout the season. The
buddy system allows one-on-one contact with a challenger player and major league player
for double the fun!
Challenger Tournament
The Fairfax Little
League Challenger Division will participate in the annual Challenger Tournament held on
Mother's Day weekend. Virginia Beach hosts the Challenger Tournament on Mother's Day
each year, and teams from all over the United States attend. Fairfax Little League
covers the expenses for the team and their families to attend this exciting tournament
play.
