MIRACLE FIELD

This league is designed specifically for youth age 3-18 with cognitive and/or physical challenges. It will provide an opportunity to play baseball as a team member on an integrated team, on a specially designed field at the Bielenberg Sports Center Complex. This league will also provide a volunteer buddy, as needed.

Everyone hits, everyone gets on base, and everyone crosses home plate! EVERYONE has fun!
