Looking for volunteer opportunities in Des Moines?  We’ll have LOTS
when fall ball 2024 resumes.
Opening Day is fourth Saturday in August, or August 24th.

 FALL CLEAN UP

During our “off” months, we have really been sprucing up the KML ballpark.  Concrete replacement, painting,
in-ground lighting, etc. have been some of our major improvements.
Which means, It will soon be time to “spiff up” our ball park for fall play!
Yes, it takes volunteers to clean everything up and get us
ready for fall play!  Watch for a clean up date in early to mid August and
please join us.  Bring work gloves.  We’ll be sprucing up the ballpark,
doing a bit of landscaping/mulching/planting flowers,
cleaning the restrooms and concession areas.
A link to sign up will be ready soon:

Become a Coach or Assistant Coach

Interested in becoming a Coach or Assistant Coach for the Kiwanis Miracle League this spring?
It’s time to sign up!  All will need to register for 2024–seasoned coaches as well as new coaches.  

We are seeking three or four more ASSISTANT COACHES to enable us to have at least three
assistant coaches on each of our 16 regular teams.  

In a normal season, if you can commit to at least 50% of our seven or eight Saturdays, you’re a good prospect.
And, don’t worry, you don’t have to know a lot about baseball.  What you DO
need to have is a desire and passion to work with kids!  A clear background
check (at our expense) is required of all coaches and assistant coaches.
We’d love to include you on our coach roster!  Please contact us if you are  have questions.
