OUR 2024 FALL SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
Our FALL season will begin Saturday, August 24th. We’ll play SEVEN Saturdays, concluding on October 5th. To play, ALL
players must register for Fall league, even if you registered and played in the spring.
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 August 1st–this provides us with enough time to order and personalize your uniform.
And if you’re 19 and over, you may be interested in playing on one of our adult teams. And it’s especially important
that the bulk of our players register by the First of August-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 FALL 2024. 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 2024 seasons. Because of the generosity of our Team Sponsors, we again anticipate no cost for play in 2024. If you know of a company or individual who might be interested in being a 2024 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.
