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.  We are looking for volunteer buddies ages 12 and older to assist special needs children with the game of baseball.  Our athletes have a wide range of abilities, some just need a little help paying attention while others need physical help hitting the ball, running the bases, and fielding.  As our games are low-key, no baseball experience is necessary for our volunteers.  

This season our games will be played at the brand new all accessible Joseph Lalli Miracle Field at NARA Park in Acton, MA.  Our fall season runs from Saturday, September 15,2012 through October 20, 2012. Game times are 9:00, 10:15, 11:30 and 12:45, with games lasting about an hour.  Volunteer buddies can participate at any number of games – you do not have to be available for every game, every week. 

If you are interested in being a volunteer for this fun and rewarding program, please contact Lauren Richardt at miracleleagueofma@yahoo.com or 978 263 3043.  Volunteer registration forms can be downloaded from our website at www.miracleleagueofma.com
