Challenger Football gives physically and intellectually challenged athletics a fun-filled opportunity to learn football skills and gives our able-bodied youths a great opportunity to work one-on-one with these athletics as a Buddy. Our athletes range in age from TK to Life Skills graduates, and range in abilities from Autistic to Down Syndrome and everything in between. All have a love of football and are a joy to be with!
Our program includes warm-ups followed by drills, stations, and then a “game.”Buddies assist players of all levels, ideally in a one-to-one ratio. Buddies help our Challenger athletes with simple passing, flag-pulling drills, and then play side-by-side in a “game.”
Practices/Games will be held on Sundays from 1:15pm-2:15pm at Palos Verdes High School Football Stadium Field. Season is September 21 - November 1, 2025.
