OTTAWA- In conjunction with Baseball Canada’s annual Fall Convention November 5th to 8th in Charlottetown, Baseball PEI will be hosting ‘PEI Challenger Baseball Day’ on November 8th for any new or existing players and families.
Adopted by Baseball Canada in 2012, Challenger Baseball provides an opportunity for children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the thrill of playing baseball, being part of a team, developing physical and social skill plus all the benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities. Games are played in a fun, safe environment where no score is kept. The philosophy of Challenger Baseball is very simple: 'Play, just for fun!'
On November 8th, the APM Centre, located at 37 Lowther Drive in Cornwall, will play host to PEI Challenger Baseball Day, providing an opportunity for current and new players and families to come and experience Challenger Baseball.
Check-in begins at 9:30 am with a Challenger Baseball game to follow at 10am lasting approximately one hour. Players and families are invited to stay afterwards for a Challenger Baseball workshop/information session outlining topics such as how to start a program in your area and what makes a successful program.
Ian McLean, National Coordinator, Challenger Baseball Canada will lead the information session along with Randy Crouse, Nova Scotia Challenger Baseball Coordinator. Baseball PEI along with Baseball Canada staff will also be attendance.
All participants will receive a medal, t-shirt and certificate in addition to experiencing all of the benefits that Challenger Baseball has to offer!
