Miracle League of Southlake
Everyone Deserves the Chance to Play Baseball
The Miracle League of Southlake provides the opportunity for every person a chance to play baseball! With a focus on the development of teamwork, sportsmanship, commitment, and community, the MLS provides physically and mentally challenged individuals a safe and spirited program in which they can learn, develop skills, and play the game of baseball!
Our Mission Is To:
- Provide opportunities for children with disabilities to play Miracle League baseball, regardless of their abilities.
- Promote community support and sponsorship of Miracle Leagues.
- Promote the construction of special facilities that meet the unique needs of Miracle League players and their families.
If I were to tell you about an organized youth baseball league, you might call it ordinary; If I were to tell you the athletes are physically and mentally challenged, you might call it touching; If you were to see them play, you would call it a Miracle. We cannot change or cure the medical issues life has dealt children with disabilities. What we can do is provide them with an opportunity to experience the joy and benefits that come from playing our national pastime — baseball!
