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, ALONG WITH APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FACILITIES. EVERY PLAYER IS PARTNERED WITH AN ABLE-BODIED "BUDDY" VOLUNTEER (AGE 12-YEARS AND UP) TO ASSIST HIM OR HER AT EACH SPORT. THE LEAGUE OPERATES SPECIAL BRACKETS FOR CHILDREN 6-12 YEARS, YOUNG ADULTS THIRTEEN & OLDER. THE MIRACLE LEAGUE CONTINUES TO OFFER BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, AND KICKBALL TO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. MOVING INTO THE SPRING WE CALLED ALL HOMERUN HITTERS TO REGISTER FOR SPRING BASEBALL. OUR SUMMER BASKETBALL LEAGUE CONTINUED PLAYING AT JEFFERSON PLAYGROUND A JPRD (JEFFERSON PARISH RECREATION DISTRICT) COMPLEX. WE CONTINUED TO PLAY OUR FALL BALL STARTING IN SEPTEMBER. BACK IN 2022, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE COLLABORATED WITH BROTHER MARTIN HIGH SCHOOL, A PROMINENT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA, TO HOST A SPECIAL ALL-STAR WEEKEND FOR OUR PLAYERS. MIRACLE LEAGUE PLAYERS TEAMED UP WITH PLAYERS FROM THE BROTHER MARTIN CRUSADERS BASEBALL TEAM IN A FUNDRAISER THAT INCLUDED BATTING CAGES, FIELDING DRILLS, THROWING CLINIC, AND AN ALL-STAR GAME THAT FEATURED INTERMINGLED TEAMS OF CRUSADERS AND MIRACLE LEAGUE PLAYERS.
