The Fall Season Opener for the Miracle League is Saturday, September 17 at 1 p.m. at the field at the Nannie Lee Recreation Center, 1108 Jefferson Street in Alexandria.
The Miracle League provides people with special needs the opportunity to enjoy sporting events such as T-ball or slow pitch type softball. The play is on a special synthetic field, designed specifically for use by individuals with special needs. The surface is entirely covered in a rubber-like compound that allows a firm, yet cushioned surface for wheelchairs, walkers, etc.
On Saturday, the Miracle League could use a few Angels. Angels are people who assist Miracle League players run the bases, either running for them, pushing wheelchairs or just helping them along. As an Angel, you get an Angel in the Outfield T-shirt and bring smiles to the players who finally have a chance to participate like everyone else.
Please consider helping out this great program!
