Volunteer Registration
The players make every game special, but it’s the volunteers who offer their time and support that make it possible. The league’s volunteers give families the freedom to just be fans. Volunteer coaches, buddies, umpires and announcers are needed for the season. Listed below are brief descriptions of volunteer opportunities that are available every season. We hope you’ll join us for the summer!
Teams play one game a week during the eight-week season, with games played at either 5:45 or 7 p.m. Mondays/Wednesdays and Tuesday at Jeffers Road Park in Eau Claire. Games cancelled due to weather are not rescheduled.
Volunteering with Miracle League of the Chippewa Valley is a great way to gain experience working with children with different abilities and a great way to give back to our community. It only takes a little time to make a difference.
Volunteers can register online.
