MIRACLE LEAGUE OF VISALIA SET FOR 2022 SEASON
Visalia-based baseball league for those with special needs set to re-open in March
Visalia, CA After a two-year hiatus, the Miracle League of Visalia is set to play ball once again in March of 2022, and everyone is excited to get back out on the field!
After COVID-19 shut down the 2020 season just weeks before it was set to launch, the League has not held another season until now. However, the League took that time to ramp-up for this re-opening, including the recruitment of a new League Coordinator, additional Board Members, a new variety of themes and activities throughout the season, and a re-vamp to their website and registration system.
Jennifer Reynolds, former GM of the Visalia Rawhide Baseball Team, is stepping up to the plate as the new League Coordinator.
An impressive list of new Board Members will also join the line-up: Steve Nelsen, Leslie Caviglia, Tim Hire, and Joel Glick. They will be joining long-time members of the board: Gary Geiger, Jennifer Geiger, Carolyn Cross, Mark Cross, Phillip Macalolooy, Carrie Blue, and Ron Hutcherson.
“We are set to kick-off the best Miracle League season yet!” stated Reynolds. Players in 2022 can expect a new twist on game days, including food trucks and dress-up themes.
Registration for this epic season opened up on January 1st, 2022 and will close at the end of February. To register, visit www.miracleleagueofvisalia.org. The League is also searching for individuals and groups who would like to volunteer during games, as well as any additional businesses or organizations who would like to be a part of the season. Anyone interested can email Reynolds directly at [email protected].
This special baseball season lasts 8 weeks, beginning at the end of March, and wrapping up towards the end of May. Players must be at least 3 years of age. Games are played on Saturdays, with the exception of two games played under the lights on Fridays. There are no practices, and games are very light-hearted, inclusive, and fun for all.
