DC Challengers Special Needs Baseball Team

Today is the first game of Spring season! Cloudy but still a beautiful day because we are blessed to play ball with these very special kids! ⚾️❤️

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. ❤️

Spring season is 3 weeks away! First game is Saturday April 4 at 10 am at Beulah Ruritan Park. See flyer for details. Please share so we can get the word out. We are so excited to see the kids and play ball!!!⚾️❤️

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 ❤️
