ADVERTIS EMENT

THE MIRACLE LEAGUE OF METRO DENVER

Get involved.

Change a life.

We are looking for volunteer buddies to assist with baseball games. Can you help?

Miracle League of Metro Denver is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in metro Denver that provides children and adults, who are living with various mental and/or physical challenges, an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. The league was founded in 2006 as Sports Made Possible.

In 2017 we affiliated with The Miracle League, a nationwide adaptive baseball league, and renamed to Miracle League of Metro Denver.

Our baseball games are played at Schaefer Athletic Complex on a field with a rubberized surface – the only of its kind in Colorado – which makes getting around easy for wheelchair or visually impaired participants.

The Miracle League of Metro Denver Competitive League provides an opportunity for participants to play the great game of baseball more independently than the recreational league.

The goal of the league is to teach the players the fundamentals of baseball and place them in positions that will allow them to play baseball to his/her fullest potential. A modified scoring system help create a more competitive feel but ensures that each player can be a contributor to the team’s success.

The philosophy of the league is that everyone bats, everyone scores and everyone wins in a non-competitive atmosphere.

Become a buddy.

We pair up each player participant with a volunteer buddy. Athletes play up to their abilities and may hit off a tee or from a pitcher. Volunteer buddies are instructed to help players bat, run bases, and play catch in the field. They also engage and encourage players to have fun in a positive environment.

Know a young person who may want to play?

If you know an athlete who would benefit by having a one-on-one buddy, this is the league for them! Scan the QR code below to learn more.

Questions?

New Edge on the Horizon Natural play meets urban design in the NU-Edge GSX for activity that builds balance and overall confidence. This compact piece offers a gauntlet of challenges for a child. How will they choose to get to the rope bridge? The options are as limitless as a child’s imagination. Climb the crisscrossing ropes to escape a collapsing tomb or slide into an unexplored jungle.

Stay steady on the large rope over a course of raging rapids.

Designed with the ability to connect to an existing post and platform.

Hang out between the top wooden planks to plan the next adventure. The NU-Edge GSX invites kids, and kids-at-heart, to channel their creativity in a space that teeters between the rustic and the modern.
