Horizon League Fall Baseball registration is now underway!

The Horizon League provides children and young adults with
developmental and physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in
athletic events, develop lasting relationships among their peers, coaches
and parents and demonstrate to them that they are an important part of
their community by creating an environment of inclusion for both the
participants and their families.

The fall season starts on Saturday, September 18 and runs through
October 23. The league is divided into two age groups, 5 - 12 year old and
age13 - 21 year old. League play is non-competitive and each player on
the roster gets on base before the opposing team gets to bat.
