Miracle League of Plymouth Baseball – Frequently Asked Questions
 

Who can participate?

Miracle League of Plymouth baseball is open to athletes with disabilities of all ability levels. We welcome children, teens, and adults. No prior baseball experience is required.
 

Is this a competitive league?

No. This is a non-competitive, skill-building league focused on fun, confidence, and inclusion.
 

What ages do you serve?

We offer three divisions:
 

• Rookie: ages 5–12

• Minor: ages 13–18

• Major: ages 19+
   

Divisions are flexible, and placement is based on age, comfort level, and family preference.
 

How are teams formed?

Teams are formed with care and flexibility. During registration, families share team preferences and information to help us place athletes where they will feel supported and successful. We do our best to accommodate every family's team, coach, and teammate preference but cannot guarantee it.
 

Does my athlete need a buddy?

Some athletes play with a buddy, while others do not. During registration, families may choose to:
 

• Serve as their athlete’s buddy

• Request that Miracle League of Plymouth provide a volunteer buddy

• Request that their athlete be given the opportunity to play independently, with the understanding that a family member may be asked to assist if support is needed
   

We work hard to recruit volunteers. If we are short on volunteers for a game, we may ask a family member to step in so all athletes can continue to participate safely.
 

What does a buddy do?

A buddy’s most important role is to help keep the game safe while supporting the athlete. Buddies stay aware of the game, assist as needed, and stand in front of athletes during hard hitters to help protect them.
 

When and where are games played?

Games are played on weekends at Bilkie Family Field, our fully accessible baseball field. It is located at 357 Theodore St, Plymouth, MI 48170.

The Fall 2026 season runs September 10- November 1.  A full schedule will be shared before the season begins.

The registration fee is $75 per athlete and includes a personalized team jersey and hat.
Online registration offers 2- and 3-month payment options. Financial assistance is available upon request.
 

Are there required practices?

No. There are no required practices.

Throughout the season, we will offer optional skill-building sessions for athletes who would like extra practice or support in areas where they may need help or want to build confidence outside of game time.

​

What if my athlete can’t make a game?

We understand that schedules and needs can change. If an athlete is unable to attend a game, we can offer the opportunity for them to play as a guest player on another team within their division, when possible, to help ensure they still have the chance to participate in all 8 games during the season.
