The mission of The Miracle League of Keller is to provide children and young adults the opportunity to play baseball regardless of their abilities. The Miracle League removes barriers that keep children with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field and lets them experience the joy of being an athlete. Since the main barriers for these children arise from the natural grass fields used in conventional leagues, Miracle League teams play on a custom designed turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assertive devices while helping to prevent injuries. Miracle League is a lot more than just playing a game. It's about making new friends, building self esteem and being treated like any other athlete. To help the athletes, the Miracle League uses a "buddy" system - pairing each player with a peer. The result is a bond that cannot be described. The Miracle League serves children and adults who suffer from any physical disabilities, which cause them to be excluded, whether intentionally or not, from conventional athletic leagues.
