What is Challenger Basketball?

 The Challenger League provides an oasis where everyone is a valid player, and parents who often feel isolated can network and find comfort in each other's company. Playing in a league can help kids gain self esteem, independence and form friendships with other kids.

This is a basketball program designed for children ages 4 - 18 with Special Needs who live with physical or mental challenges. This is a league designed for those children to participate in a sports environment structured for their success. Teams will be split according to size / age, and the rules are more laid back than in a typical game of basketball. The Challenger League's aim is for participants to have fun while learning the game of basketball. Players will work on skill building which provides an essential opportunity for kids to develop stronger emotional and social skills while working as a team. Challenger basketball stresses participation not competition. "Buddies" will be on hand, if
needed, to provide encouragement, direction and assistance to the players.

Registration is $25 per participant. Season starts in January and ends in March.

Visit www.sycwarriors.org and register your player today! Registration ends Dec 4th.

For additional information contact Jen Perry, VP of the Challenger Division, at [email protected].
