Greater New Orleans Miracle League Inc

The miracle league is an organization designed to serve kids with (continued on schedule o) special needs not accommodated by established league sports. 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.
