Thank you for your interest! Volunteers make this league so special! Our games will be on Saturdays from May 4th - July 20th, taking off for Memorial Day & July 4th, and the games run from around 9 am - 2 pm. We try our best to assign buddies to a specific team for one game each day, and the buddies will follow that team's Saturday schedule throughout the season.
The Miracle League of New Albany depends on the strength and generosity of its vast Volunteer network.
Buddies are paired with a player for every game and help to keep the player safe, bat, run the bases and encourage the player with energy and enthusiasm. Buddies are typically at least 12 years old. Training sessions for buddies will take place prior to opening day.
Both head coaches and assistant coaches are needed, and the most important qualifications are dedication, enthusiasm and compassion.
Announcers introduce the players and commentate throughout the game to make the game-day experience extra special for the players and the fans.
Assistants helps with all the jobs that make the game day go smoothly. Selling refreshments or merchandise, orienting players and fans with the facility and whatever else arises.
Come sing, cheer and use your talents to make game day special!
Bat boys and bat girls pick up balls, bats, helmets and equipment to keep the game moving and the players safe.
