Interested in assisting athletes with special needs?
The YMCA Challenger is for boys and girls ages 5 through 18, with physical and mental disabilities. The most fundamental goal of the Challenger program is to give everyone a chance to play regardless of limitation. Challenger is about more than playing a game. It's about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other kids. To help athletes, we use a "buddy" system and pair each player with a volunteer that is at least 9 years of age through adult.
Sports include aquatics, basketball, baseball, bowling,soccer and tennis.
