Miracle League of Northwest Montana

Bringing Team Sports to all Abilities

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED PURE JOY?

This is what you will see when a Miracle League player hits his first home-run or when she hits her first pitched ball. You also see it with their 100th!

Miracle League players may not be able to run the bases or hit the ball as well as some of their peers, but they have an equal amount of love and determination to play baseball.

The Miracle League is magical.

Our league is run 100% by volunteers and is FREE to all participants.

Our summer season runs June - August, and we offer clinics and other sports throughout the spring and fall for ages 3 to adult.

Our fully accessible Rotary Miracle Field allows all individuals to experience the love of baseball. They have the freedom to roll, walk and sprint—without barriers. It brings coaches, players, buddies and especially families together in camaraderie. For over seventeen years we have been experiencing this amazing combination of inclusion, recreation, pure joy and excitement.

Our original Miracle Field was made possible by a team of committed individuals, especially our founder Dan Johns, who recognized the need for recreational and athletic opportunities for our local special needs community. Their dream became a reality in 2009 when our field became the first Miracle League field in the entire Pacific Northwest.

Unfortunately, time and Montana winters were very hard on our field. The seams separated with up to 2-inch gaps and also lifting up, making the field dangerous to our players. We asked our community to help raise the funds to resurface it with new turf technology that quickly absorbs the frequent summer rain showers and also does not reflect as much of the hot summer sun. Our community has blessed us with the majority of the funds needed and our project began in September 2025. The new turf is now installed but we are still needing additional funds to pay for what has been completed and finish the fencing, add shade and our dream of adding an inclusive playground.

Some of the amazing new features are enlarged dugouts to provide opportunities for greater inclusion of our athletes using wheelchairs and walkers, cooling sand embedded into the turf and 6-foot fall concussion safety.

OPPORTUNITY + INCLUSION = COMMUNITY

The opportunity to be included in activities in your community makes a positive impact on children and adults with disabilities. Allowing community buddies and families to be part of the program brings greater awareness and acceptance of all individuals.
