JUST IN: OUR 2025 SPRING SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER & REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Our SPRING season will begin Saturday, May 10th. We’ll play EIGHT Saturdays, concluding on June 28th. To play, ALL
players must register for SPRING league, even if you registered and played in previous seasons.
All kids with special needs who want to play ball in a non-competitive and co-ed environment are eligible! And if you’re a
first time player, we hope that you will register by April 1st–this provides us with enough time to get you assigned to a team
and order and personalize your uniform.
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 first of April-the number of registrations will help us determine
how our teams will be scheduled for play.
Here is the link to register your player(s) for SPRING 2025. Click or copy and paste into your browser:

Our goal? As always, be as safe as possible. And provide an environment where the kids can still have fun
and play baseball. Just remember that all of this is subject to change and/or adjustment as the weeks and months play out during these post-pandemic/uncharted times.
If you have difficulty or have questions about registering, please contact Christy Nelson, player committee chair at

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 click on 2011 Comparison of Three Leagues for more information.
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 2025 seasons. Because of the generosity of our Team Sponsors, we again anticipate no cost for play in 2025. If you know of a company or individual who might be interested in being a 2025 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 Kiwanis Miracle League at Principal Park.
