Miracle League has baseball for disabled kids
The Miracle League gives hundreds of disabled children something few dreamed possible...the chance to play baseball! During each Miracle League game, every child is given an opportunity to hit the ball and score a run. Miracle League team members are assigned "buddies" who assist them in hitting the ball and "running" the bases. Buddies can be fellow schoolmates, parents, college students, business leaders or anyone who wishes to volunteer their time to give a child the gift of baseball. The program starts on April 13, 2013 and continues through June 22, 2013.
The Washington Nationals Miracle Field, located in South Germantown Park, incorporates a cushioned synthetic turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other walking assistance devices, while helping prevent injuries.
The League is scheduled to start this Saturday, April 13th. All relevant details regarding times, location and registration can be accessed by clicking on the link to Miracle League’s website. The brochure is also available on this link, as well as the contact for any questions you may have.
