PAL Norwin's Adaptive Baseball League
gives everyone a chance to play ball regardless of their ability or disability.
The league will be non-competitive and will involve a limited time commitment
and limited playing schedule. We offer an opportunity for disabled
children, ages 5-21 to participate fully in sports. For safety reasons each
player is accompanied by a "buddy" who helps the athlete hit, field and
run/walk/wheel the bases. A special group of children and their families
benefit from this program. More skills than baseball are learned through the
experience. There is value in the therapeutic and socialization benefits of
participating in sports, the strengthening of participants' self esteem, the
opportunities to mainstream into other divisions of play in the future and the
disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. The greatest need of these
kids, like all kids, is to belong to a team and have fun. All games will be played on the RED, BLUE, PURPLE & TAN fields at the PAL Complex in
Shafton! The greatest need of these special Kids, like all kids is to belong to a team and HAVE FUN! This is where you come in . . . . Sign-up to be a part of our special league . . . . We need coacnes, team buddy coordinators, team helpers and fans!
