The Miracle League is designed to make baseball accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for every player. From player registration and team placement to game days and volunteer buddies, here is a quick look at how the league works and what families can expect throughout the season.
*The Miracle League of Green Bay’s number one priority is to maintain a safe and fun environment for all our players, volunteers, coaches, visitors and league management. Therefore we have implemented a “ZERO TOLERANCE” policy when it comes to profanity, threatening or abusive behavior, and violence of any kind. Recurrent incidents from the same individual may result in them being permanently banned from participating in the league.*
With regard to our players: We in management completely understand that underlying medical conditions may result in some of our players having more difficulty than others managing their frustrations. If a player becomes aggressive or frustrated to the point it interferes with game play or with the safety of others, parents will be asked to remove their child from the field until such time it is safe for them to resume play. If aggressive behavior persists once the player returns to the field, he or she will be removed for the remainder of the game. Although we may sympathize with both you and your child, we still must consider the safety of all other participants on the field when making these decisions. We appreciate your understanding.
*Players who hit, kick, or otherwise assault their buddy, team mates, coaches or any other authorized person on the field will be removed from the field immediately and may not be permitted to return. Repeated and regular incidents may result in the player being removed from the league for the remainder of the season.*

Parent Expectations
The Miracle League goal is to make participation in the sport of baseball as enjoyable and realistic of an experience for your child as possible. Safety is a top priority. For that reason we have volunteers who are buddies to assist each child, and we have expectations of parents who sign up their child for the program. Please read and abide by the following Parent Expectations to help assure a safe and wonderful baseball environment. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Parent Attendance – A parent or guardian MUST be in attendance at all of the Miracle League athlete’s games. The rule is “No Parent: No Play”.
Uniform Required – The team uniform is required to be worn. “No Uniform: No Play.” This applies to parents acting as buddies as well. If you don’t have a buddy shirt, one will be supplied by our Volunteer Coordinator.
Proper Shoes Required –Athletic shoes are the proper footwear. No open–toe shoes, sandals or slides/slip-ons allowed. This is a safety rule and will be enforced. “No Shoes: No Play”.
Weekly Attendance Expected– If you cannot be in attendance at the next week’s game, it is expected that you communicate that to your team leads so that, as a courtesy, your child’s buddy can be informed to not have to be there or so they can be used to be a substitute buddy for another buddy who is unable to show. Do not only inform your child’s buddy and expect that message to get back to your team leads. You must contact your team leads.
Please understand that buddies are volunteering their time and we need to be respectful in informing them of a child’s absence. Plus, they are excited and some of them are trying to earn community ‘service hours.’
Buddies Are to Remain at the Field ‘In Play’ (not at playground) – While our buddies are paired up with individual children, our buddies are dedicated to help the overall team. There is not an expectation for buddies to work or play with children ‘off’ the field at the playground or otherwise should a child decide to leave the game, mid-game. Unless buddies are family members, buddies should remain available to the team.
Only authorized persons allowed on field – Once the game begins, only authorized persons allowed on field (those players, volunteers and team management that have signed electronic releases and are covered by the league’s insurance). Unless assisting as a buddy, this means No parents, other siblings, grandparents, etc. allowed otherwise on the field or in the dugouts during games.
No Food or Beverages Allowed on Field or in Dugouts – Food and beverages, except for water, are not allowed in the dugouts or on the field. Parents, please do not furnish food, snacks or beverages to be consumed in the dugouts or on the field. Spills and litter on the field attract birds and wasps, which then usually results in a slippery, unsafe mess. Please help by ensuring all food and beverages remain off the field.
Volunteers are a huge part of what makes Miracle League of Green Bay possible. From helping players around the bases to cheering them on from the dugout, every volunteer helps create unforgettable moments for our athletes and their families. Whether you are an individual, family, school group, or local business, there is a place for you to get involved and make a difference.
