Challenger Sports Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Manchester, NH, dedicated to fostering peer relationships among individuals with special needs through organized sports and social events. These activities offer older children (typically 16 and up) and adults with special needs the chance to form lasting friendships. Our motto, "More than sports, finding friends, fitting in, and feeling good," reflects our commitment to creating inclusive, supportive environments where everyone can thrive.
WHAT WE DO
Every Thursday night, we meet in Hooksett, NH from 6pm - 7:30pm to play either softball, basketball or volleyball depending on the season and weather. Occassionally we gather on different nights for non-sports activities, but those are always communicated in advance via email or our Facebook page.
Spring/Summer Sports
Throughout the Spring and Summer months, we gather on the softball field at Arthur Donati Memorial Field in Hooksett to play softball. We create 2 teams with however many athletes attend and typically play 3 innings starting at 6pm where everyone bats each inning.
Fall/Winter Sports
In the Fall and Winter, we move inside to play either basketball or volleyball in the Hooksett Town Hall gymnasium. Similar to the Spring/Summer, athletes are separated into teams for a fun, evening of sports.
Fun. Fun. Fun.
When we are not playing sports, we have a great time socializing through other activities like halloween and christmas parties, bowling, attending baseball games and more.
