Kingsport Miracle League accepting registrations for fall season

Registration is now open for the fall baseball season of the Kingsport Miracle League, with games scheduled to begin on August 24.

Kingsport’s Miracle League is for special needs children and young adults who wish to play our nation’s pastime. All games are played at Kingsport’s Miracle Complex (2017 Brickyard Park Drive).

The league has two co-ed divisions: ages 18 and up and ages 17 and under – and the season runs concurrently with the city’s other youth baseball leagues. There is no fee to participate in the league.

The season runs from August 24 until October 6 with games held every Saturday at 10 a.m. (for players ages 17 and under) and 11 a.m. (for players ages 18 and above). No games will be held on August 31. Games typically run two to three innings or about an hour in length. Players new to the fall season will receive free jerseys.

Kingsport’s Miracle Complex has a baseball field about a third of the size of a normal field, and instead of grass or artificial turf, it has a flat, rubberized surface. The mound and all of the bases are flush so wheelchair users and amputees can travel over the surface more easily and safely.

Typically, more than 100 players participate each season in the Kingsport Miracle League.
