What are the games like?They are AWESOME! We offer adaptive baseball at an accessible stadium, removing the barriers that would normally keep individuals with special needs off the field. Players are placed in a division based upon their age and skill level. Each Miracle League player is issued an official major league uniform jersey with name and number on the back, plus a ball cap. Every player is introduced with his/her walk-up music and photo on the jumbotron in centerfield. Recreational division games are two-three innings and last approximately 45 minutes. Every player bats, circles the bases and scores each inning. Games end in a tie score, so everyone is a winner! Competitive division games are played with slightly modified rules and last four innings, approximately one hour. There are three outs or five runs per inning and the score is accurately kept.

How much does it cost to play?When registering, there is a recommended $35 donation per player, however this is optional. Donations are happily accepted, however no one will be turned away due to inability to pay. If the registration fee is not affordable, participation is made possible by our generous donors.
-
What does a “Buddy” do?Miracle Leaguers are paired with a volunteer buddy who acts as a one-on-one friend and helper. Our games are success-oriented, so we encourage each player to do as much as they can on their own, and the buddies are there to help and encourage them along the way.
