Miracle League of Massachusetts

Andy Richardt, one of AASL's players, is a co-founder of the Miracle League of Massachusetts and presented a volunteer opportunity to AASL captains at our pre-season captains' meeting on April 13. If you want to volunteer locally, consider giving some time (a few hours on one Saturday, or a longer commitment) to this organization that helps children get involved in sports.

Baseball Program for Children with Special Needs Looking Volunteers

The Miracle League of Massachusetts is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that provides all children with the opportunity to play baseball in an organized, non-competitive league at no cost to their families. Our players are children aged 5 to 18 with a disability that keeps them from playing in a mainstream league. Miracle League team members are assigned buddies who assist them in hitting the ball, running the bases, and fielding. During every game, each child is given an opportunity to hit the ball and score a run. We also have an announcer who introduces each child and gets the crowd into the game. One thing that sets the Miracle League apart from other local special needs baseball leagues is the ultimate goal of building a Miracle League stadium with a specialized rubber field, allowing easy access and mobility to all.

This spring will be our 5th season and we have expanded our enrollment from last fall. We are looking for volunteers to be buddies for our team members. We are primarily looking for teenagers aged 12 and up, but we need adults to help out too. Buddies can participate at any number of games – just one game would be great, or all would be fantastic! We encourage you to visit our website at www.miracleleagueofma.com to see pictures and video from previous seasons to see the joy that our players get from playing baseball.

Games are played at Blanchard Memorial Elementary School in Boxborough, MA, on Saturday mornings from May 1, 2010 through June 12, 2010. Although the games are played in Boxborough, we have players from 34 towns around Massachusetts. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Andy and Lauren Richardt at 978-263-3043 or miracleleagueofma@yahoo.com. Volunteer registration forms can also be downloaded from our website.

Come join the Miracle League because every child deserves the chance to play baseball!
