 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

This has been a labour of love for our team.

Over the past months, we’ve been working behind the scenes — attending trainings, sitting in meetings, learning, listening, and building — all with one goal: to create something meaningful for our community.

Today, we’re so proud to share the beginning of Challenger Baseball, in partnership with Jays Care Foundation.

This adaptive program is designed for individuals of all ages living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities — a place where athletes can belong, build confidence, learn life skills, and simply enjoy the game.

At Paris Youth Softball Association, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to participate in sport when given the right support, tools, and environment. The athlete always comes first — and we are committed to creating a space that is inclusive, empowering, and built with care.

We’re now looking for interest from athletes, families, and volunteers as we prepare to launch a Try-It Day this June — a chance to experience the program, learn the fundamentals, and take part in gameplay in a supportive and adaptable environment.

This is more than baseball.

It’s about inclusion, growth, and creating a place where everyone can realize their potential.

If this speaks to you or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you.
