Challenger Baseball
 The
Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a
separate division of Little League to enable boys and
girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5-18, or
up to age 22 if still enrolled in high school, to enjoy
the game of baseball along with the millions of other
children who participate in this sport worldwide.
Today more than 30,000 children participate in more than
900 Challenger Divisions worldwide.
Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than
age, and can include as many as 15-20 players.
Challenger games can be played as t-ball games, coach
pitch, player pitch, or a combination of the three.
 In
a Challenger game, each player gets a chance at bat. The
side is retired when the offense has batted through the
roster, or when a pre-determined number of runs have
been scored, or when three outs are recorded. Little
League recommends that no score be kept during
Challenger games. The Challenger players wear the same
uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as other
Little League players.
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.

...is designed for first time & young players so
they can learn the basics of the game. It is a
fast, fun paced series of skills and drills
followed by a quick 1 or 2 inning game. It
generally lasts an hour long and requires lots
of parent & grandparent involvement! THIS
PROGRAM IS NOT A DROP OFF SERVICE!!!! Each child
MUST have an adult remain at the ball diamonds
at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! This is the most
fun you can have on a ball diamond!!!

Dear local Little League
Volunteers and Friends,
The first test result has been
received at Little League International regarding
composite-barreled bats for use in the Little League
(Majors) Division and below. Little League has created a
list for those bats that receive waivers of the moratorium
that was enacted on Dec. 30, 2010.
Little League International's
moratorium on the use of composite bats extends to all of
its baseball divisions, including the Little League (Majors)
division.
Information on the composite
baseball bats that have received waivers of the moratorium
for the Little League (Majors) Baseball Division and below
can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm
The list will be updated as more
information comes into Little League.
Information on the composite
baseball bats that have received waivers of the moratorium
for the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of
Little League can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm
By definition, a moratorium is:
An authorized delay or stopping of some specified activity.
As applied by Little League International, the moratorium
disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with
composite material in its barrel unless a specific model
shows in laboratory testing that it will not exceed the
standard that is printed on the bat, after the bat is broken
in.
There is a process through which
manufacturers can submit individual models for a possible
waiver if they wish to seek it. Individual bat models are
tested at an independent laboratory, and the results are
conveyed to the manufacturer. If the manufacturer provides
the results to Little League, and the bat passes the test,
it will be noted on one of the two lists noted above.
Wooden and aluminum metal/alloy
bats are not subject to the moratorium. Bats that have only
a metal or alloy barrel (and no other material, unless it is
in the end cap of the bat), and if it meets the other
standards (length, diameter, etc. for the respective
division in which it is used) are not subject to the
moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle or
the transition to the barrel.
A listing of licensed,
non-wood/non-composite baseball bats for use in the Little
League (Majors) Division and below can be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/2011ApprovedNonWoodBatList.pdf
This list also may be updated frequently.
Because of the moratorium,
several common questions have arisen. We have addressed the
most common questions in a Frequently-Asked Questions page
here:
http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/LLBBCompositeBatMoratoriumFAQ.htm
If you have further questions,
we encourage you to sign on to Little League's Facebook
page. At that page, over the past few days, Little League
International staff has answered hundreds of questions
regarding the moratorium. The Little League Facebook page is
here:
http://www.facebook.com/LittleLeagueBaseballAndSoftball
Little League International
first placed the moratorium on composite bats in the Junior,
Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League.
Subsequent to that moratorium, scientific research that
began on October 18, 2010, showed the need for the same
moratorium on composite-barreled bats with 2 1/4 inch
barrels as well. Starting in September, and throughout the
following weeks, this information was conveyed multiple
times to every local Little League, every district, to the
media, on Facebook, on the Little League web site, and to
more than 250,000 parents who had signed up to receive
updates from Little League International.
The original announcement
regarding the moratorium, enacted on September 1, 2010, is
here:
http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Sep-Dec/CompositeBatMoratium.htm
The moratorium on composite
bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little
League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little
League.
Sincerely,
Little League International

Little League
International Issues Update Regarding Composite Bats:
Moratorium Imposed Immediately
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (Dec.
30, 2010) - Little League International has placed a
moratorium on the use of composite bats in the Little League
(Majors) Division and all other baseball divisions of Little
League, effective immediately.
"Today's decision of the Little
League International Board of Directors Executive Committee
is based on scientific research data from the University of
Massachusetts (Lowell), which was contracted by Little
League Baseball," Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball,
said. "The maximum performance standard for non-wood bats in
the divisions for 12-year-olds and below is a Bat
Performance Factor (BPF) of 1.15. The research found that
composite bats, while they may meet the standard when new,
can exceed that standard after a break-in process."
Local Little Leagues were first
informed of the research last September.
"From the beginning, and
throughout this process, we wanted to keep everyone
informed," Patrick W. Wilson, Vice President of Operations
at Little League International, said. "Our intent was to
provide local league constituents clear direction regarding
composite bats. There is a process through which
manufacturers can submit individual models for a possible
waiver if they wish to seek it. Going forward, we will let
our leagues know which ones meet the standards for the
Little League Baseball (Majors) 12-and-under divisions, if
any."
On Sept. 1, Little League
International placed a moratorium on composite bats in the
Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little
League. Subsequent to that moratorium, some composite bat
models have received a waiver and may be used in those
divisions. Information on the composite bats that have
received waivers for the Junior, Senior, and Big League
Baseball Divisions of Little League may be found here:
http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm
At present, no
composite bats for the Little League (Majors) Division and
below have received a waiver. If and when any models do
receive a waiver, Little League International will inform
its leagues of that decision.
The moratorium on
composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions
of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions
of Little League.
-----
Sincerely,
Little League International
