Kids and Adults

Participants range from ages 4-70. Everyone is welcome to play and enjoy themselves. 

One of our strengths is that we all practice and play together and encourage one another. When someone scores a goal or a basket, young and old celebrate together.

During Baseball and Soccer season all ages run drills together but then we divide into age groups and play one another on appropriate sized fields. We make every effort to make both young and old feel welcomed to participate in all our activities.

Programs

Volunteer

We thrive because of  volunteers from the community. They come from a variety of sources –  schools, youth groups, athletic teams, religious organizations, social clubs, and private companies – but one thing remains constant, their commitment to make a difference.

Community

We find strength and encouragement in all of the wonderful participants, volunteers, donors and grant giving foundations that create the Cape Cod Challenger Club community.

From the first group of kids playing baseball, to all the volunteers over the years. From the first grant from the local Sandwich Kiwanis Club, to all the individual donors who continue to give.

Our  community is overcoming challenges together and making life meaningful for everyone. We would love for you to be a part.
