Miracle League of Whitfield County

The Miracle League is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing children and adults with mental and physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball, to value and include children and adults with special needs, regardless of ability, in team play, and to promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and community involvement. All games are played at the Miracle Field, a barrier-free, handicapped accessible baseball field with a cushioned, synthetic surface that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers, while helping to prevent injuries. The Miracle Field enables children and adults with physical or mental challenges the opportunity to play baseball by providing a level playing field where they can hit, run, and catch. During a Miracle League game, each player is assigned a "buddy,"  an able-bodied partner who assists the player in hitting the ball, running the bases, and protecting them in the field. Best of all in the Miracle League, every player gets a hit, every player scores a run, and both teams always win!
