The fundamental goal of Special Needs Baseball at Sandy Plains is to give everyone of any ability ages 5-22 (still in school) a chance to play. To realize that goal, Special Needs Base-ball has two basic rules:

1. 1. Every player bats each inning, and every player plays the field. We don't count strikes, and we don't count outs.
2. 2. Everybody scores, and everybody wins.

Challenger Baseball participants learn not only the fundamentals of baseball, but also they experience pulling together as a team, being cheered on by a crowd, and being encouraged by their peers. All players are named all-stars, and all receive tro-phies at the end-of-the-season.
