Malden West Little League

Little League District 12

Challenger Division

The Challenger Division is a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, 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.

Malden West Little League is part of District 12 along with Somerville, Medford, Melrose and Everett children who live in these areas are welcome to play.

The baseball program is in its fourth year and has had a Medford team participate each year. The practice/games are held on Sundays between 3-4pm and 4-5pm at the field in front of the Irish American club on the Fellsway on the Malden/Medford line. Each challenger player is assigned a baseball buddy to assist them (boy or girl) with baseball fundamentals.

The cost is $40.00. Each Challenger player receives a full uniform, participates in all opening day ceremonies, banquets, and fundraising events, which last year included many of the Challenger players winning batting practice and a full day at Fenway Park. Participation in the Challenger league also automatically qualifies the Challenger Player with a roster position on the Medford Invitational Tournament Challenger Allstars, which is held annually at Columbus Park in the summer.
