The Miracle League of the Triangle is home to hundreds of players with special needs who come together to enjoy America’s favorite pastime – Baseball. Each year, we rely on thousands of volunteers to provide our special athletes the joy of hitting a baseball, scoring a run, and being part of a team. Together, our players and volunteers share friendship, comradery, acceptance, and FUN! Come join us at one of our ball fields for a rewarding experience.
Opportunities
- Buddy
- Game Day Help

Ages 12 and up | Any qualified individual or group can give individuals with special needs the gift of baseball by volunteering as a Buddy. Our Buddy system pairs each player with a volunteer helper.

- Protect the player at all times.
- Allow the player as much freedom as possible to play.
- Have fun!

Announcers make a huge impact on the Miracle League experience, introducing players, providing some play-by-play to the game and delivering encouragement to participants over the loud speakers. Volunteers must be familiar with our games to be an announcer.
Please email volunteer@mltriangle.com to become an announcer.
