JUST IN:
OUR 2026 FALL SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
Our SPRING season is over. FALL SEASON begins Saturday, August 29th.
We will play SIX Saturdays, concluding on October 3rd.
Registration for our FALL 2026 season is now open. To play, ALL
players must register for FALL league, even if you registered and played in previous seasons.
All kids (ages 5-18) and adults (19+) with special needs who want to play ball in a non-competitive and co-ed
environment are eligible! And we welcome FIRST TIME players, too! Once you register, we’ll be in touch with you about
your team assignment, coaches, play schedule, and answer any questions you may have.
Your personalized uniform will be ordered after your first attended game.
And if you’re 19 and over, you may be interested in playing on one of our adult teams.
Again, it’s especially important that the bulk of our players register
by the 15th of July––the number of registrations will help us determine
how our teams will be scheduled for play. Registrations will still be accepted after July 15th.

If you’re not familiar with Miracle League, you may have questions. We also continue to get questions as to
how the Kiwanis Miracle League is like or different from the Pioneer League or the Challenger League which have
been playing in Des Moines for many years. Thanks to Jim Sanders, who is the director of the Pioneer League and a
past member of the Kiwanis Miracle League Board of Angels, we have a comparison of the three leagues. Please reach out if you have questions.
Please also know that we a separate entity from other Miracle Leagues in the area. We are managed solely by volunteers under the Kiwanis name.
Our facility maintenance, concessions, registration, volunteers, teams, etc. are all completely separate as the KIWANIS MIRACLE LEAGUE AT PRINCIPAL PARK.
We continue to actively recruit team sponsors for our 2026 seasons. And it’s not too late for 2026! Because of the generosity of our Team
Sponsors, we again anticipate no cost for play in 2026. If you know of a company or individual who might be interested in
being a 2026 Team Sponsor, please let us know at burchhr@aol.com.
Further details are available here on our web site–just return to the home page and click on “Become a Team Sponsor”.
Kiwanis is all about kids–and what a great way to support kids and community through the
