PARSIPPANY — Par-Troy West Little League (PTWLL) is proud to once again welcome the Morris County Challenger Little League for a special afternoon of baseball and community spirit on Sunday, June 22, at the PTWLL Baseball Complex, located at Directors and Carroll Fields. Two games are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., and volunteers are being sought to help make the day successful.
The Challenger League, an official division of Little League Baseball founded in 1986, provides children with physical and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to play baseball in a supportive and inclusive environment. The Morris County Challenger League began in 1999 and serves local youth ages 5 to 21 (while enrolled in school), bringing the joy of the game to players who might otherwise be unable to participate.
Par-Troy West calls on its community—parents, players, siblings, and friends of all ages—to step up and volunteer as “buddies” during the games. Volunteers will assist Challenger players on the field, ensuring they have the support they need while creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
The schedule includes:
• 2:00 p.m. Game: PTWLL players and volunteers serve as “buddies” to Challenger players.
• 4:00 p.m. Game: PTWLL players take the field against the Challenger team—who, as it happens, are currently undefeated.
“This is always one of the most rewarding and memorable events of our season,” said PTWLL organizer Sandra Neglia. “It’s about baseball, yes, but more importantly, it’s about building connections, celebrating inclusion, and showing the best of what our community has to offer.”
Anyone interested in volunteering—either as a buddy or in any other capacity—is encouraged to contact Sandra Neglia at [email protected].
With the help of dedicated volunteers, Par-Troy West hopes to continue its tradition of hosting an event that brings smiles, cheers, and inspiration to everyone in attendance.
