What is Miracle League Arizona?
Based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, Miracle League Arizona, “offers a safe and successful baseball experience for children, teens, and adults with disabilities or special health care needs.”
Miracle League of Arizona goes above and beyond when it comes to creating an ‘major league environment’ that is accessible to all! The main field, the Dan Haren Field, opened in 2011, and the stadium has only improved since. The dugouts at Haren Field are flat, spacious, and maneuverable for all, and the sound system is top of the line. These details are imperative to creating a one-of-a-kind experience, and the Miracle League does just that.
There are over twenty Miracle League Arizona teams, and you can either play recreationally or competitively, so there is something for everyone! The recreational teams require no previous baseball experience, and are broken down by age group. The competitive teams have two age groups, and some previous baseball experience is strongly recommended!
Miracle League Arizona states that there is only one rule: TO HAVE FUN!
