COMMUNITY CORNER

The MYO Challenger League 2024 Season is Open for Registration!

The Mason Youth Organization Challenge League is a baseball league for kids with developmental disabilities. Just like their neurotypical peers, players will learn solid baseball skills and social skills for working together as a team, and like past teams will tell you, we'll be making lasting memories too!


The Challenger League has minor (ages 5-11), major (ages 12-16), and senior (ages 17+) leagues that players will be placed on depending on age and skill. If needed, the players are matched with a buddy! Anyone from the city of Mason and surrounding communities (Warren, Clermont, northern Hamilton County residents) can join in with a cost of $30 per player. Learn more about the season, schedule, and registration by clicking the flyer to the right or by visiting the linked site below.
