OUR 2023 FALL SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
Our FALL season will begin Saturday, August 26th. We’ll play SEVEN Saturdays, concluding on October 7th. ALL players must register for fall league, even if you registered and played in spring league.
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 July 26th–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.

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 nelson.christy98@gmail.com or Jan Burch, president at burchhr@aol.com

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.
If you have any questions, again, please contact Christy Nelson, player committee chair at nelson.christy98@gmail.com or leave a message at 515.280.5017 (our Miracle League #). We will get back to you. Or email us at burchhr@aol.com.
We continue to actively recruit team sponsors for our 2023 seasons. Because of the generosity of our Team Sponsors, we again anticipate no cost for play in 2023. If you know of a company or individual who might be interested in being a 2023 Team Sponsor, please let us know at burchhr@aol.com.
