Challenger Baseball in Horsham!
Do You Have What it Takes to be a Buddy?
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
By volunteering as a Buddy, you can help baseball players who are just like your children, but who happen
to have a disability, in the Horsham Little League Challenger Division
(http://horshamlittleleague.com/custom_page?pageid=1170). With over 70 families playing in recent
years, we need "Buddies" to help our players in the field, running the bases and batting. Challenger
baseball not only develops physical skills, but also gives players the confidence and self esteem to succeed,
both on and off the playing field.
We play at Deep Meadow Park during the months of April, May, and June, every Saturday morning at 9,
and alternating Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. No special training is required, other than patience, a
cheerful attitude and a willingness to help others - you qualify to be a Challenger buddy if you can give a
high 5, a big smile, or any other form of encouragement. Service credit is available for consistent
participation by students.
If you or your child would like to help, please contact Challenger Player Agent Stan Jaskiewicz at
[email protected] or at 215-241-8866. Please feel free to circulate this message to your players and
others who may be interested in volunteering – all volunteers must pass a Little League background check.

According to a Middle Eastern proverb, a man walked past a beggar and suffering persons, and asked,
"Why, oh God, do you not do something for these people?" To which God replied, "I did do something, I
made you."
