The final Minnesota Twins Youth Clinic of the season will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. for Little League Challenger Division athletes at the Lee County Sports Complex.

The Little League Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls (ages 5-18) with physical and mental disabilities to enjoy the game of baseball.

Challenger athletes will be split into two teams and play a game at 10 a.m. on Field No. 5 at Hammond Stadium. Twins players and coaches will sign autographs and help coach the game.

The Minnesota Twins Youth Clinic program conducted 13 free baseball and softball clinics from Jan. 7-Feb. 18 throughout Southwest Florida.
