Registration for our Challenger program

The Little League Challenger Program is an adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges. It is a free program and any individual with a physical or intellectual challenge ages 5-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in high school, is welcome to participate. 

This program provides a supportive, inclusive environment where kids can develop social skills, build self-esteem and improve physical fitness. It encourages teamwork, sportsmanship and a sense of belonging, fostering a positive and enriching experience for all participants.

Registration Information and More

All participants must complete on-line registration with the league before participating in any games or practices. As a part of the registration process, a liability waiver and medical release document will need to be completed.

HALL Boundary

Official Little League programs like Hopkins Area Little League, and other neighboring Little Leagues, are assigned charter boundaries for their programs to operate within.   If you are not within the HALL boundary, your child can play with an approved waiver, but will not be allowed to participate in All Stars. 

Volunteering

Registration includes a volunteer deposit that will only be cashed at the end of the season if your volunteer hours are not fulfilled. There is a 4-hour volunteer requirement for each player.  See the volunteer page for more information on types of shifts and to fill out your volunteer form. 

Uniforms

The registration fee includes the cost of a shirt and cap. Uniforms will be distributed once the volunteer deposit, liability waiver and medical release forms are received.

All Star & Tournament Teams

All-Star teams for 8-12 year olds are formed at the end of the season, based on voting and input from Coaches.  All-Star players participate in practices and Post-season tournaments through the end of July. In addition to All-Star teams, we offer additional tournament teams, giving many players an opportunity to continue playing baseball through the end of July!

More about the Little League All Star Tournament:

 The pinnacle of Little League baseball is the Little League World Series played every August in Williamsport, PA.  The LLWS is truly a world-wide event, involving 8 U.S. teams and 8 International teams.  The teams that reach the LLWS consist of the top 12 year olds from a given league that have competed and won at the District, State, and Regional levels.  Although only the 12 year old All-Star team can make it to  the LLWS, each league selects All-Star teams at the 12, 11, 10, and 9 year old level.  The 9's compete only at the district level, while the 10's and 11's compete at the district and state level.  The 12 year old team that wins their district All-Star tournament, proceeds a State tournament.  If they win there, they advance to a Regional tournament, and if they win that, they head to Williamsport for an incredible experience.

Little League Age Determination

Knowing the "Little League age" of your player is important for ensuring they are playing in the appropriate division, attending the appropriate events and are part of the appropriate tournaments.
