Miracle League

There’s just something about baseball that lights up a kid’s eyes!

It’s an experience that every kid deserves…and through the Miracle League it’s an experience that every kid can enjoy. The Miracle League is a baseball program for kids with physical and developmental disabilities. The Miracle League offers these special kids the opportunity to break through the perceived boundaries of their disabilities, while making new and lasting friendships and having fun.

You can help…Be a volunteer buddy!

Children with special needs are not the only ones who benefit from this league! Through the “volunteer buddies” program, able-bodied members of the community will be partnered with players to provide assistance, encouragement and friendship. Individuals interested in becoming a volunteer buddy should complete a Y volunteer application; available at the YMCA Member Service Desk.

*Please note: A background check is required for all YMCA volunteers over 18.
