Local Challenger Baseball program expands opportunities for young athletesAugust 6, 2026 · 0 CommentsWritten By Chris PerrotteTwo seasons after launching in Orangeville, Challenger Baseball is continuing to grow, giving more young athletes with disabilities an opportunity to play the game, build confidence and be part of a team. The Challenger program is in partnership with the Jays Care Foundation, an organization that helps run these programs for youth with disabilities across Canada. Stephanie Coombes, the Challenger Baseball coordinator and coach, shared the program’s most fulfilling aspects. “My son’s love for baseball has grown tremendously, and he especially loves that Challenger Baseball is partnered with Jays Care Foundation. “Challenger Baseball has given him far more than the chance to play baseball, it has given him a community where he belongs and memories that will last a lifetime.”
