Marci Dickerson was instrumental in forming the Warrior League, which welcomes youths age 6 and up regardless of physical or developmental disabilities. “Every kid should have the opportunity to suit up and play, and every parent should have the opportunity to sit in the stands and root for their kid,” Dickerson said. “We’re going to make this happen.”
On Sunday, August 14, 2022, children of all abilities were welcomed by the Warrior League at Presley Askew Field on the New Mexico State University campus.

The league features 80 players with special needs in grades first through sixth and every Sunday, starting Sept. 11, these little warriors will take over Presley Askew Field on the New Mexico State campus for an afternoon of fun and games. The teams will be structured for diversity, so that there are no dominant teams.
