Challenger League provides a safe place that individuals with disabilities can call their own. We like to use the term PLU - (PEOPLE LIKE US). It is truly special! Each year kids, young adults, families, volunteers, donors, and the community are changed due to the magic that happens. No child with a disability is turned away from the Challenger League.

Each child is matched with a buddy. The buddy gets to know your child and serves as a big brother or sister. The parent is able to come to practice and games and other activities and enjoy watching their child play with friends and can have a typical experience while building fun memories.

Challenger League creates this magic through social clubs , summer camp, special events, weekend outings and sports for girls and boys. Challenger League strives to enhance the lives of children with developmental disabilities and their families by focusing on their abilities – not disabilities. We provide services throughout the year to residents of six counties in Southwest Georgia. Challenger League serves individuals with behavior disorders, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism, Asperger’s, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, Spina Bifida, and many more. We are only a year old and are striving to give you and your child a wonderful experience!

ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE BUT TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH!

Our Mission

Challenger League provides children with developmental and physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in athletic and social events, develop lasting relationships among their peers, coaches and parents, and show them they are an important part of their community by creating an environment of inclusion for both their kids and their parents.

HEAR WHAT OUR GROUP MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY

  • "Our son Wes has Autism. The Challenger League has been a blessing to our son as it has given him opportunities I feel otherwise would not be readily available. He is a smart, energetic boy with so much to offer and has been able to become more involved because of the Challenger League. We also love the Challenger League's promotion of special needs in the community and feels it brings more awareness and education."
