What's offered

Adaptive baseball runs in spring and fall seasons at the accessible Miracle League field in Bicentennial Park, with every player paired to a volunteer buddy. Three divisions play on Saturday mornings:

  • Minors — Field 8, games at 8:30, 9:45 and 11:00 AM.
  • Majors — Field 7, games at 8:45, 10:00 and 11:15 AM.
  • Triple A — Field 8, games at 12:15 and 1:30 PM.

The Fall 2026 season runs September 19 through October 31, seven Saturdays with a bye week rotating through the teams, and November 7 held as a rain date. Picture Day is October 3 (the Phillies, on their bye that week, shoot October 10 instead). Family Appreciation Day is posted as TBD.

Registration for the fall season is closed. It runs through the league's own site — open a family account, then add and register participants.

Our take

The Miracle League of Southlake runs adaptive baseball for children and players with special needs on a custom accessible field — a rubberized, wheelchair-friendly surface built so every player can take the field. It's part of the national Miracle League movement, whose model is inclusion over competition: every player bats, every player scores, and each is paired with a volunteer "buddy" who helps them play. Southlake's league has run since 2015 across many seasons, supported by volunteers, buddies, coaches, and sponsors, with its accessible field at Bicentennial Park backed by the Texas Rangers' foundation. For a family whose child is often on the sidelines of youth sports, this is a place built specifically so they can play — the emphasis is participation, joy, and community rather than a score.

Local Tips

A few practical notes:

  • Play happens on the Texas Rangers Miracle League Field, a custom accessible field at Bicentennial Park, so it's built for wheelchairs and mobility devices in a way a standard diamond isn't.
  • The program runs on a buddy system — each player is paired with a volunteer buddy — which also means the league is always recruiting buddies, coaches, and sponsors, so it's a good fit if you or an older sibling want to give back.
  • Seasons are short and the calendar is published, not held privately: the fall runs seven Saturdays with a bye week rotating through the teams, and a rain date already set aside at the end. Divisions play in shifts across the morning, so a family with two children in different divisions can expect to be at the field for a while.
  • Registration is a season-by-season window through the league's own site — open a family account first, then add and register the player. Fall registration is already closed, so a family arriving mid-season is waiting for spring.
Credentials

The Miracle League of Southlake is a nonprofit run by volunteers — a leadership team, coaches, and a corps of "buddy" volunteers paired one-to-one with players. Its model doesn't rely on professional athletic instructors; the emphasis is trained, caring volunteers and a safe, accessible environment, and it welcomes new coaches and buddies through its Become a Coach and Become a Buddy programs. Individual staff credentials aren't detailed on the site; the league's strength is its volunteer community and the purpose-built accessible field.
