About Us

About Field of Ability

Field of Ability is a community organization supporting adaptive sports and events, including Challenger Baseball and fundraising golf tournaments.

Our Mission

Inclusive sports and recreational opportunities

The Field of Ability exists to support adaptive sports and to create inclusive sports and recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We do this by backing programs such as Challenger Baseball and by bringing the wider community together through fundraising events.

Community support is at the heart of the work. Families, donors and volunteers take part in our programs and events, which helps keep adaptive sports accessible and inclusive for the people who rely on them.

Field of Ability is also online: follow the organization on Facebook and Twitter for updates on activities and events.

Field of Ability is a community organization built around a simple idea: adaptive sports should be available to everyone who wants to play. From baseball fields and recreational leagues to fundraising golf tournaments, the organization backs programs that welcome athletes of every ability and creates space for shared participation, encouragement, and belonging across local communities.

Programs such as Challenger Baseball form the core of this work, offering inclusive sports and recreational opportunities where teammates, families, volunteers, and supporters come together on the same field. Fundraising tournaments extend that reach, bringing together a wider circle of community members and raising both awareness and resources for programs that keep adaptive play thriving season after season.

Looking ahead, the organization continues to grow its network of partners, volunteers, and participants so that more opportunities exist for individuals with disabilities. The theme of the site — rugged outdoor landscapes, bold color blocking, and clean sans-serif typography — mirrors that spirit: straightforward, energetic, and focused on the field, where ability is recognized and community support is at the heart of everything.
