Miracle League of the Chippewa Valley registration opens

MENASHA, WI – Registration is now open for the Miracle League of the Chippewa Valley, a program of Goodwill North Central Wisconsin (Goodwill 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. 

 “Goodwill NCW’s Miracle League program gives those with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball at an accessible facility while building relationships, engaging socially with others and learning important life skills like teamwork and communication to help them overcome barriers,” Tim Wavrunek Mission Team Leader of Community Programs at Goodwill NCW said. “We are excited to welcome familiar faces and new ones to this program.”

The season is eight weeks long, beginning in June. Throughout the season, players are paired with community volunteers who assist and encourage them during the games. Volunteer pitchers, umpires, announcers, coaches and team helpers also are needed. The public is invited to attend the games as supportive fans. 

Players and volunteers can register online, starting February 1. Registration ends March 31.
