Coventry Little League has proudly served our community since 1966. Over the decades, we have grown alongside the Owen J. Roberts School District, continually evolving our programs while staying true to the core philosophy of Little League: providing youth with a safe, healthful, and fun environment to learn the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play. Our mission is to help children grow into confident, capable, and responsible citizens through the joy of baseball and softball.
At Coventry Little League, we believe every child who wants to play baseball or softball should have the opportunity—regardless of skill, gender, or financial circumstances. No child will be denied participation due to financial hardship. Please reach out if your family needs assistance.
Challenger Division
In 2018, Coventry Little League proudly introduced our Challenger Division, a program designed for children with special needs. Challenger Baseball, established in 1989, provides children with the same opportunities to enjoy the game as millions of other players worldwide. Today, more than 30,000 children participate in over 900 Challenger Divisions globally.
In 2025, we expanded our Challenger Division into two teams:
Junior Challenger – Ages 4-14
Senior Challenger – Ages 15 and up, with no upper age limit
This expansion allows us to provide an age-appropriate and enjoyable experience for all participants. Families of players interested in joining are encouraged to contact us for registration assistance.
