02/13/10--REGISTRATION has begun for the new Challenger Baseball program in Pittsford, Spring 2010. The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5-18 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. One of the benefits of having a Challenger Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the Challenger players. The buddies assist the Challenger players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make plays themselves. However, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.. If your child is interested in registering, please go to the Pittsford Little League website http://www.pittsfordlittleleague.org/  and click on Registration.  Please register by February 13. If you have any questions, please email or call Judy Breitenbach, breitenj@rochester.rr.com or 381-0151.  If you would like to receive information on other programs in the Pittsford School District for students with special needs, please send an e-mail to Pittsfordpass@Frontiernet.net to be added to the distribution list.
