IWA varsity baseball team buddies-up with Padre Little League Challenger

The Incarnate Word Academy varsity baseball team joined up with the Padre Little League Challenger Division to practice and play baseball with special-needs children on Wednesday, April 2, at the National Little League field.

The IWA varsity baseball team will support each player as a buddy. The buddies will assist each player on the field and encourage players to bat and make plays for themselves.

The Padre Little League Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division for Little League to enable boys and girls with special needs to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.

“The IWA varsity baseball team’s dedication to the community is a perfect example of how IWA students respect the worth of every person and for life in all its forms,” said Damian Dominique, the schools media relations specialist.
