]]> Baseball WA has been announced as a grant recipient of the Sport and Recreation Inclusive Participation Grants Program, administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. This is part of a $2.2 million boost over the next three years for inclusive sport and recreation projects.
​
Baseball WA will receive a $300,000 grant to support people with disability through a Little League Challenger expansion project.

Little League lnternational’s Challenger program is a highly modified baseball program specifically aimed at the disability sector.

The project will expand on the single program currently being run in Wanneroo by creating two new programs in the Eastern and Southern suburbs. The Wanneroo program will also be expanded to include the adult version in addition to the junior version they currently run.

“We are so excited about this opportunity to expand Little League Challenger and bring the joy of baseball to more West Australians,” Baseball WA CEO Lachlan Dale said. “Thank you to DLGSCI for this significant contribution to ensure we can better accommodate kids and adults with physical and intellectual challenges.”

Stay tuned for more updates as we launch this expansion project and check out Challenger Division Wanneroo Giants on Facebook for insights into the program thus far.
