Registration is now open for the Miracle League of the Lakeshore, Miracle League of the Fox Valley and Miracle League of the Chippewa Valley, a program of Goodwill North Central Wisconsin (NCW) that offers individuals ages four–nineteen with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball in an organized, non-competitive league on a safe, accessible baseball field. 

Throughout the season, players are paired with community volunteers (buddies) who assist and encourage them during the games. Volunteer pitchers, umpires, announcers, coaches and team helpers are also needed, and the public is invited to attend the games as supportive fans.

Through engaging socially with others, the players learn valuable life skills like teamwork and communication to help them overcome barriers.

“It is such a privilege and an honor to be able to bring the joy of baseball to these players and their families,” Tim Wavrunek Mission Team Leader of Community Programs at Goodwill NCW said. “It’s so much more than baseball. It’s remarkable, the smiles on their faces and the families’ faces.”
