Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Miracle League is designed to serve kids who cannot be accommodated by established league sports due to the special needs of their disabilities. The vision of the program is to provide any child with special needs, regardless of their level of disability, the opportunity to play league sports and enjoy the emotional and physical benefits of being part of a team sport. We provide these children with the chance to play through our Miracle Field, a specially constructed sports field that uses a cushioned, synthetic turf to accommodate wheelchairs and other walking-assistance devices that, along with appropriate support facilities, is designed specifically for use by children with disabilities. Every player is partnered with an able-bodied buddy volunteer (age 12-years and up) to assist him or her at each sport.
The Miracle League continues to offer baseball, basketball and soccer to children with special needs. League sports are year-round starting in the early winte months, playing soccer up until Mardi Gras. In the spring, we kick off the spring baseball season. In the summer, when it is too hot to play outside, we move inside to play basketball. After the heat is over, we then play our fall season of baseball. Each summer the Miracle League is invited to participate in the Faux Pas Invitational Fishing Rodeo, pre-fishing trip. We take players and a guardian fishing down in Venice. This event is sponsored by "Wish to Fish" an organization made up of Wildlife and Fishery volunteers. The Miracle League is also invited to participate in the Royal Teddy Bear Tea at Christmas time.The Miracle League Northshore also works with several area partners and organizations to ensure the program is successful. The Coquille Recreation District 14 and Children's Hospital continue to partner with the league, making both financial contributions and lending years of experience to the League's leadership. The Miracle League continues to partner with the St. Tammany Public School system, their principals and Special Education Teachers. The special Olympics of Louisiana is another incredible partner that shares our information with their athletes, and vice versa. The Miracle League is also working with counselors at area public and parochial schools to provide information about participating in the League to the children with disabilities that attend these schools as well as recruit volunteers for player buddies and help with fundraisers. The League is also asking several area agencies and non-profits for help in informing their constituents about how a child can join a team, including: Children's Hospital, Northshore Families Helping Families, etc.YEARLY EXTRACIRRULUM EVENTSWild Game FeastMoney Hill Golf TournamentCrawfish & RosesBoots & BadgesRadiothon2019 PARTICIPATION NUMBERSSpring Baseball: March - May 20196 teams 93 Athletes113 Buddies Summer Basketball: June - July 2019 9 teams69 Athletes54 Buddies Fall Baseball: Sept - Nov 2019 6 Teams 82 Athletes78 Buddies
