The Miracle League of
Mid-Michigan is dedicated to helping children with
physical and cognitive challenges to develop and achieve
their full potential cognitively, socially and physically by
providing the opportunity for them to play baseball as part
of a team in an organized league. The general guidelines of
Miracle League Baseball are:
-
Each athlete hits and scores a
run each inning (games last two innings ~ 1 hour).
-
If needed, an athlete is
matched with a "buddy", who helps them hit, round the bases
and field.
-
The parents get to watch,
support and celebrate their children's success on the field.
The Miracle League is
not just about baseball. It's about hundreds of dedicated
athletes, parents, coaches, buddies, volunteers, and
sponsors coming together to support, encourage and inspire
each other in an inclusive environment that embraces
diversity. The benefits of participating in Miracle
League Baseball extend beyond the field and impact
everyone involved - including fans.
