Program Goals
Challenger - For players that have physical disability, an intellectual disability, a cognitive delay, or a
developmental disability.Athletes of all ability levels are encouraged to participate in Challenger
Baseball. This is designed to be grassroots and non-competitive. It is a great program which engages
children and youth and gives them the opportunity to play in a fun and safe environment.
Rally Cap -An entry level program intended to create a fun environment in which children and adults
are actively engaged together in the game of baseball. Develop fundamental motor skills, teach baseball
skills, and basic rules to our players.
Grand Slam -An entry level program intended to create a fun environment in which children and
adults are actively engaged together in the game of baseball. Develop fundamental motor skills, teach
baseball skills, and basic rules to our players. This level builds upon skills learned in the previous level.
11U to 18U Recreational -Whether you’re new to baseball or a seasoned player, we have a place
for you in our rec division. At the recreational level we focus on developing on-field skills like pitching,
hitting, fielding and baseball strategy. Our volunteer coaches begin the season with a pre-season skills
evaluation followed by the formation of evenly balance teams. Each team will play games throughout
the summer while also attending practices to develop their skills. The season ends in late August with
the City Champs Tournament which is always a lot of fun!
11U to 18U Competitve-In the competitive stream we focus on developing on-field skills like
pitching, hitting, fielding and baseball strategy. Our volunteer coaches begin the season with a pre-
season skills evaluation followed by the formation of evenly balance teams. These teams will compete in
a provincial schedule against other teams of similar playing level. This division is targeted for players
that want to commit more to the game and compete at a higher level while still focusing on player
development. There will need to be a strong commitment of attendance for all practices and games
from all players and coaches to ensure that the season runs smoothly and that players get the most out
of the season.
15U - At this level players will begin to identify specific positions of interest on the field as well
as develop some of the finer skills within the game.
18U - This is our highest level of competitive play in which winning becomes more of a priority.
Players and coaches at this level work together to identify potential opportunities for players beyond
FMBA.
