Challenger Buddy
Wants More!!!
 |
In the fall of
2009, WMLL entered into uncharted waters when it began a Challenger Division as part of its Fall Ball Little
League program. The Challenger Division
accommodates children with disabilities and has been
a part of Little League Baseball since the 1980's.
The challenge for WMLL was finding field time for
this new league. But with the advent of the
Fall Ball program, field time became available for
the addition of Challenger games each week and a new
league was born.
A key part of the program, in addition to our
great and spirited Challenger players, is the
"buddy" system. Every Challenger player gets a
buddy (usually a regular season WMLL player) to
assist them as needed during the game. One of
these buddies during our inaugural 2009 season was
Danny Zimmerman, who was paired with player Katy
Goldschmidt. Recently, we received an email
from Danny's mom, as follows............... |
"My son, Danny,
was a volunteer last fall for the Challenger League
and formed a lasting friendship with the young girl
with whom he was paired, Katy Goldschmidt. In
fact, he enjoyed the experience so much that he is
now considering majoring in Special Education in
college. The reason I’m writing is to inquire
whether Danny will be able to participate as a
volunteer again this fall...If so, we were wondering
if there are any opportunities for Danny to take on
a more active role in the program. For
example, perhaps he could help train the 2010 buddy
volunteers or something along those lines.
Please let us know if there is some way that he
might be of assistance to you as you develop the
program."
WOW.........What a great email. We speak quite
often about the role sports play in forming lifetime
memories, friendships and teaching life lessons.
To think that this small experience as a West
Madison Little League Challenger buddy could have
such an impact on this young man's life is awesome.
That he wants to give back to the program and our
Challenger kids is even more awesome. That he
is thinking about making special education his
career is simply inspiring.
Way to go Danny; we're really
proud of you. And to Katy too, for having such
great enthusiasm and courage. And thanks to
all the other Challenger buddies who volunteered
their time and talents in 2009 to make our
inaugural season such a great success. We hope
to see you all back for Challenger Lg each
September...and hopefully with double the number of
players. SPREAD THE WORD!!!
