About the League


The Adaptive Buddy Baseball League is a non-competitive program that adapts the traditional game of baseball to allow children ages 4-16 with a physical or developmental disability the opportunity to play baseball, using the same equipment and uniforms as their friends and family members. All players are assigned a "Buddy" to assist them through the game. The “buddy” if needed, will help the player hit, field, and run/walk/wheel the bases. Some players will be able to hit from a coach pitching while others may need a tee or assistance from a "buddy". There are no "outs" and there is no score kept. All players go through the rotation getting their turn to bat. The average game is 60 minutes.  For full rules see the League Rules section of our site.

About the field


Games are played at Miracle League Field, which is located at 120 East Clinton Street, Joliet, IL 60432 just north of Silver Cross Field (Joliet Slammers Stadium), on Clinton Street.
