Welcome to the Mason Challenger League

Mason Challenger League gives individuals ages 5 through adult with physical and developmental disabilities the opportunity to play baseball. Adapting the game to each athlete’s abilities, the league teaches the benefits of participating in a sport including strengthening their self-esteem, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play through the game of baseball.

Each week during the season, athletes will enjoy an hour or more of baseball bonding with their team as they take turns batting and fielding on our home fields at Makino Park in Mason, Ohio.

Unlike other MYO leagues, you do not have to be a resident of Mason. We welcome athletes from Southwest, Ohio.

Our Home Fields




Mason Challenger League holds all practices and games on the brand-new Adaptive Ball Fields at Makino Park in Mason, OH.

Opening in Spring of 2024, the league was able to play their entire season, rain or shine, on these amazing fields. In coordination with the City of Mason and generous donations from businesses and members of the community, these barrier-free fields allow our athletes to play baseball unimpeded. The professional looking fields feature synthetic turf with painted bases, a flat surface that allows players and family members easy access from their cars to the fields, expanded bleachers to allow all our players access, shaded dugouts and bleachers, and accessible bathrooms.
