West Metro Miracle League

West Metro Miracle League – who are we?

The West Metro Miracle League (WMML) is a 501.c.3 non-profit that provides children with cognitive and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized and integrated league. The West Metro Miracle League is located and fully integrated in the Bennett Family Park in Minnetonka, MN. Bennett Family Park is the home of eight baseball diamonds that accommodate Tee Ball through Little League and Babe Ruth. Each child playing ball can also be paired with a volunteer “buddy”, if desired, who will give them a little help and encouragement to play the game. These buddies are other ballplayers and volunteers from around the community.

Why are we different?

· As part of the “Miracle at Bennett” overall ballpark improvement project, in the summer of ’09, began playing on the official Subway Restaurants / Harmon Killebrew Field, a Miracle League Field sponsored by the Minnesota Twins, Harmon Killebrew and Subway Restaurant. This special baseball field includes a ½ “ thick rubber field to enable all our kids to make it around the bases safer as well as put a little more “play” into the ball.

What are the rules for each player?

· Everyone hits (coach pitch primarily and tees are available too)

· Everyone gets on base and crosses home plate.

· Everyone wins.

· Everyone can have access to a volunteer buddy (if needed, or they can bring their own).

· Everyone gets a treat ticket after each game to go to the concession stand.

· Everyone gets a trophy at the end of the year.

· EVERYONE HAS FUN!

Who We Are?

Rarely does one get to witness history in the making. Witness the creation of The Miracle League, Minnesota style. WMML (doesn't roll off the tongue, but that's the acronym for The West Metro Miracle League). Here is our progress:

In 2008, we had 33 players and 4 teams and played on Field 5 (dirt field) at Bennett Family Park in Minnetonka.
In 2009, we had 100 players and 8 teams and played on our new Subway Restaurants Harmon Killebrew Field at Bennett Family Park after a $1.2M overall park improvement project with our official subber surface and fully accessible park (8 fields).
In 2010 we had 120 players, 10 teams and played 2 games each Saturday and Sunday and a game each Tuesday from May 1 through the end of June with some fall ball planned for September (the Race for the Pennant)
Here is a short video about the Miracle League and the '09 Season.
