Being a Buddy is a rewarding experience. By assisting a player, a Buddy will have the opportunity to learn about a special player and help him or her achieve a sense of accomplishment and enjoy baseball.

 

Being a Buddy is also a commitment to a group of highly deserving children in an area that many have never had an opportunity to participate in before. It is a commitment to a team, a player and the community that is reaching out to support their needs.

Buddies must be 11 years of age and older or in the 6th grade to participate. Buddies duties will vary from full assistance for a player who may have severe mobility problems to offering guidance to players who can walk, run and perform many physical actions. Buddies may also assist players who do not have the mental or retentive ability to follow the rules of the game.

Typically Buddies are randomly assigned to a given player and team unless they are a returning Buddy from the previous season and request to be assigned to the same player. (Please note this on the registration form where requested.)

Buddy Leaders will be assigned to each team to coordinate the pairing of Buddies with players. In most cases the Buddy leader will assign a Buddy to the same player throughout the season.

Buddies are expected to attend all of their teams scheduled games. Buddies are able to share responsibilities with another buddy if they know they will not be able to attend all the teams scheduled games. (Please list your buddy partners name on the registration form where requested.)  If a buddy cannot attend a game it is his or her responsibility to contact their partner to buddy for that scheduled game.

Buddies will meet with their players parents / caregivers just prior to the start of the first game to discuss any concerns and review any special instructions.

All Miracle League games are held at Darree Fields located at the intersection of Cosgray and Shier Rings Road. (Please see our schedule for game dates and times.) For questions, please contact Megan Temple . Thank you for your interest and support in the valuable community project.
