MIRACLE LEAGUE
The deadline to register for the Miracle League program is Sunday, Jan. 18.
The Miracle League removes barriers that keep children with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field and lets them experience the joy of America's favorite pastime. Every player hits, and every player gets on base, every player scores and every player wins.
Games and practices are to be played at Wald Park off U.S. 31 at 2521 Waldridge Road.
There are two distinct playing options. The regular Miracle League plays on Sunday afternoons from March 8 to May 17 and allows players to play with assistance from buddies.
The Challenge league, also known as the Red Tornadoes, competes against teams from the Vestavia area and is designed for players who do not require on-field assistance. This league allows participants to play independently without the use of buddies in a structured, game-like baseball environment. Games are on Thursday nights from March 12 to May 14.
The cost to register is $30 per player. Register for the spring Miracle League here.
