The grand opening of the new Anthony V. Pugliese V Miracle League Field at Robert P. Miller Park was held Saturday,  May 15th, 2:00 p.m. (see some photos below and more on our Facebook page).


The first and only Miracle League Field in Palm Beach County is located amongst the Little League fields at Robert P. Miller Park located at 1905 SW 4th Avenue in Delray Beach.

The field is a flat rubberized surface and will have flat bases to avoid the problems that come with uneven ground and mobility obstacles.

"The Delray Beach Miracle League" is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that provides children with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. There is something about playing the game of baseball that lights up youngsters' eyes, but for children facing physical and mental challenges, that opportunity can often be a difficult first step. The Miracle League gives these children the opportunity to get out in the sunshine, and enjoy playing the game of baseball in its purest form.


The Rules of the League are: Every player bats once each inning; All base runners are safe; Every player scores a run before the inning is over; The last batter gets a home run; Each Team and player wins every game; Community children and volunteers serve as "buddies" to assist players.

Players: Boys & Girls ages 5 to 19 years old
Cost $45.00 (Scholarships available for qualified applicants)

Buddies:
Boys and Girls. Minimum age is 12 years old. Buddies over the age of 18 will be submitted for a background check. There will be a Buddy Training before the beginning of the season.
