Our Philosophy
Our programs are built on one simple belief — every child deserves to play. We keep things fun, low-pressure, and fully inclusive so that kids of all abilities can participate, grow, and enjoy sports without the stress of competition. No tryouts, no cuts, no pressure — just families coming together to give their children a positive experience in a sport they love. We're honored to be part of that journey.

Brian Flanigan
Originally from Wisconsin, Brian moved to CA in 2006 and began coaching little league for his younger brother's team. After moving back to Benicia with his own son, Brian was eager to resume coaching but with an extra appreciation for the needs of children with disabilities.
Our League Partners
None of this would be possible without the generous support of our league partners. Their willingness to work with us — providing uniforms, equipment access, and flexible scheduling — is what makes Benicia SPED Sports affordable and accessible for every family we serve. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our kids and their belief in what we're building together.
