West Metro Miracle Athletics is a 501c3 charitable organization that provides children with special needs the opportunity to play baseball, kickball or basketball as a team member in an organized league. There is something about playing sports that lights up a kid’s eyes. We love being witness to that pure joy!

Here is our schedule!

Our baseball program is played on Saturdays at Bennett Family Park in Minnetonka!

Here are a few details:

All games are two innings in length

·  Athletes can use the tee or a pitch

·  Every player gets to bat once each inning

·  Every player has a “Buddy” who is there to assist them and, more importantly, to cheer them on (see below)

·  Every player is safe on bases

·  Every player rounds the bases and gets to score a run each inning

·  The last Player on the lineup gets a home run!

 

To help the athletes, we use a “buddy” system – pairing each player with an able-bodied peer or adult. West Metro Miracle Athletics is about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other kids. It’s also a chance for parents, families and friends of special needs kids to network, share ideas and cheer on the most incredible athletes on earth!
