Kingston Thunder is proud to announce that in partnership with the Jays Care Foundation the Challenger Baseball program will continue in 2024.
We launched the program in the 2022 season and it was a great success.
Challenger Baseball is to help kids living with disabilities across Canada bounce back from the pandemic.
Challenger Baseball is Jays Care adaptive baseball program, run in partnership with Baseball Canada and Little League Canada, for children and youth living with disabilities.
The program is specifically designed to empower children, youth and adults living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities. The program teaches athletes living with disabilities the core life skills inherent to baseball, including: teamwork, communication, determination, resiliency, inclusion, support and courage. Challenger Baseball ensures every athlete has the opportunity to play in a fun and safe environment where they learn to become more independent, build confidence, improve their communication skills, and set and achieve their own personal goals.

We are looking for coaches and volunteers.
Our Challenger Program will be led by Coach Randy Casford.
Players will be involved in at least 2 hours of baseball each week for 6-8 weeks.
Players & Coaches will receive Toronto Blue Jays hats and shirts.
