The Y Challenger Program

More about the Y Challenger program

This program gives individuals 3-30+ years old with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive through recreational and social programming. Children and young adults with special needs will improve physical fitness, experience personal growth, have fun and develop friendships through healthy Challenger activities. Challenger is about more than games. It’s about being part of a team. Athletes with a wide variety of disabilities including autism, Asperger’s, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and spinal injuries, are placed on teams with peers and coached by volunteers. Each player is paired with a volunteer buddy who is at least 10 years old.
