Miracle League Baseball Registration Open

Baseball for children/young adults (ages 4 to 19) with disabilities. Registration for players open until April 3rd. Volunteers needed also

The Miracle League of Joliet is a non-profit baseball league for children and young adults with disabilities.  We believe that every child/young adult deserves a chance to play baseball.  Miracle League rules emphasize participation for allwith each player having a turn to bat each inning.  Players are paired with a volunteer “buddy” who will assist the player both at bat and on the field, if needed.  Games are played on a custom designed rubberized turf field.  The field is free from obstacles allowing all players to round the bases and play in the field. 

Registration is now open for the 2015 Spring Season.  Miracle League games are played on Saturdays from May 16th through June 20th.  To register to play, sign up to volunteer or for more information please visit our website at www.miracleleagueofjoliet.com.  Registration will close on Friday, April 3rd so be sure to visit us right away!
