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:
- Every player bats each inning, and every player plays the field. We don't count strikes, and we don't count outs.
- 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.
