DC Challengers Special Needs Baseball Team

DC Challengers Special Needs Baseball Team A baseball team for special needs children ages 6-21 in Douglas County and surrounding counties. The children range in age from 6 – 21 years.

The Douglas County Challengers are a baseball team of children with special needs that are physically and/or mentally challenged. Although we play in Douglas County, the players are not limited to living in the County. The Challengers play every Saturday morning during the Spring and Fall seasons. Spring season is April, May and June and Fall season is September and October. The games are played a

t Beulah Ruritan Park 3655 McKown Road in Douglasville. The games begin at 10:00 a.m. and usually last until about noon. Registration is not limited to a particular time as children will be accepted at any time during either Spring or Fall seasons. The parents are not required to pay a registration fee. The Challenger team is sponsored by the U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club and they provide uniforms and necessities at no cost to the parents. The trophies are donated by Timeless Trophies. We welcome volunteers who would like to come and be “buddies” to some of the children on the field. We also welcome those interested in coming to watch the games and simply sit in the stands and cheer for these children.

We would like to thank Coach Donald’s son Eli and his Boy Scout Troop 773 for repairing and rebuilding the dug outs for the team. It was a much needed project. See the before and after pictures of the great job and hard work they did. Thank you to the companies Reedwick and NHE Services for donating the supplies. ❤️

Coach Philip’s son, Nathan, was beside his Dad at the age of eight helping him with the team. He pushed kids in wheelchairs and helped out in any way he could. The father and son bond they shared was only strengthened by their love for the team. He grew up and has a son of his own. They came to show their love and support and are proud of their Dad and Papa ❤️

I didn’t take as many pictures or videos as I would have liked to have been able to so that I could share them with everyone. It was a special day for me as well. As Coach Philip’s wife, I am so proud of him and his dedication for these past 30 years. I wanted to be present in the moment and to share my love and support of him with everyone there. I was busy making memories ❤️
