Pottstown Little League is seeking disabled children, whom may otherwise not be able to play Little League Baseball to form a Challenger Division Little League team. ALL children no matter their disAbility are welcome; this is what Challenger was designed for, to share the joys of baseball for every one.

More information on the Little League Challenger Division.

If your a local Pottstown resident and know some one who may be interested, please contact Pottstown Little League for more information. Or as a League Volunteer, you may contact me, and I will gladly pass the information along.

The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 5-18 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.

Just a small update on blog friend, professional youth golfer Kyle Lograsso.

At the age of two Kyle was diagnosed with Bilateral Retinoblastoma eye cancer, and lost an eye to this, he is also partially sighted in his remaining eye. That doesn’t stop him, at only 7 years old, he golfs better then most adults (and can beat them), they say he could be the next Tiger…

Kyle’s parents started the Through Kyle’s Eyes Foundation to raise funding for Retinoblastoma research by giving to the Eye Tumor Research Program at Will’s Eye Institute in Philadelphia, PA!

So please, check this little dude out! And buy some of his Lograsso gear to support eye tumor research… Visit Kyle’s web site to signup for his newsletter and receive updates.

Cole was promoted to Orange Belt, after almost 1.5-years (since his last belt) of hard work and dedication… You can read more about it, and see some photos on his blog. Congratulations Cole.

You can read how this journey began. And one of the original stories we read at Pottstown Judo, and so nominated Cole for the June 2007 KarateAngles.com Kid of the Year. (I was awarded Sensei of the Month June 2007, and Pottstown Judo as Club of the Month, for promoting visually disabled judo).

Cole practices the Tenshin-Ryu style of Karate.

* Please note, I’m not Cole’s instructor, simply a friend…
