Miracle League Volunteers

This is a great opportunity for students to get involved and volunteer their time on Saturday mornings. Anyone interested may sign up at https://forms.gle/8HU9tLtthCmSrKVR7.

We are currently looking for coaches and buddies for our first season with the Miracle League of Western Kentucky.  Coaches would need to be available for all 4 dates (Sept 9, Sept 16, Sept 23 & Oct 14). Buddies may select the dates they would like to participate.  There are no practices, only games on Saturday mornings. 

The "Buddy" program is an amazing opportunity to volunteer and get involved with the Miracle League for those age 14 and older.  Buddies are able-bodied peers that will be paired with athletes to assist them in hitting the ball, playing in the field and running the bases.  Those interested ages 14-17 will need to acquire a letter of recommendation from a teacher, coach or school administrator to be eligible, age 18+ will be required to complete a background check.  Letters of recommendation should be submitted to parks@marshallcountyky.gov.  A link will be sent out to complete an online background check if required.
